Question

pls guys. help me solve for x... just give me process by process. iforgot how to. and its confusing me. so pls

5(360/x)-9 = (x-2)180 / x

Answer 1

multiply thru by x

Answer 2

meaning to say i have to do lcd kind of thing? multiply both side by x?

Answer 3

you have an x inthe denominator on both sides, to clear the fractions i would multiply thru by x; yes

Answer 4

so ill get.
5x (360) - 9 = (x-2)180
is that how it works?

Answer 5

almost, but i see that my reading of the setup was a little off

5(360) - 9/x = (x-2)180

is what you should get; that 9 was mean to me ... ive got a simple fix tho

Answer 6

so meaning to say. that 5(360/x) are in one 1 fraction. while 9 isn't so i hav to multiply 9 by x instead of 5

Answer 7

youre actually doing better at this than I am this morning :)

Answer 8

5(360) - 9x = (x-2)180

Answer 9

so it will look like this?
\[5(360) - 9x = (x-2) 180\]

Answer 10

yes, now you can distribute the 180 thru if need be

Answer 11

thanks alot :D now i can do the other number easily :D

Answer 12

you did great :)

Answer 13

dude. theres a problem

Answer 14

5(360/x)-9 = (x-2)180 / x

5(360)-9x = (x-2)180

5(360)-9x = 180x-2(180)

5(360)+2(180) = 180x+9x

12(180) = 189x

12(180)/189 = x is about 11.42 in decimal form; or just keep it in reduced fraction form

Answer 15

dude. i post a new one with the problem :) just check it out. thanks :)

Answer 16

12(180)/189

4(180)/63

4(60)/21

4(20)/7 = 80/7
