Understand the problem

Solve for X:

10025+14412x3311=568x357x+182 \frac{100}{25}+\frac{144}{12}x-\frac{33}{11}=\frac{56}{8}x-\frac{35}{7}x+\frac{18}{2}

Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll proceed through the following steps:

  • Step 1: Simplify each fraction in the equation.
  • Step 2: Combine like terms on both sides.
  • Step 3: Solve for x x .

Let's work through these steps:

Step 1: Simplify each fraction:
10025=4\frac{100}{25} = 4, 14412=12\frac{144}{12} = 12, 3311=3\frac{33}{11} = 3, 568=7\frac{56}{8} = 7, 357=5\frac{35}{7} = 5, 182=9\frac{18}{2} = 9.

Now our equation becomes:

4+12x3=7x5x+94 + 12x - 3 = 7x - 5x + 9

Step 2: Simplify and combine like terms:
On the left side: 43+12x=1+12x4 - 3 + 12x = 1 + 12x
On the right side: 7x5x+9=2x+97x - 5x + 9 = 2x + 9

The equation now is:

1+12x=2x+91 + 12x = 2x + 9

Step 3: Solve for x x :
Subtract 2x2x from both sides:
1+10x=91 + 10x = 9
Subtract 11 from both sides:
10x=810x = 8
Divide both sides by 1010:
x=810=45x = \frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}

Therefore, the solution to the problem is x=45 x = \frac{4}{5} .
