Question

How do you solve for 'x' in this specific equation? (equation in comments)

Answer 1

\[3=\frac{ 175 }{ 3 }x + -55 \frac{ 175 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 2

Start by multiplying 55 and 175 together

3 = 175/3x - 9625/3

Add the fractions over a common denominator as a single fraction
175/3x - 9625 /3 = (175x - 9625) / (3)

Multiply both sides by a constant (3)

175x - 9625 = 9

Can you solve from here?
