Question

$$487-(234+117):x=448=$$

Solve for x

$x=9$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $0$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $x$.

$$x\times 487-\left(234+117\right)=448x$$

Add $234$ and $117$ to get $351$.

$$x\times 487-351=448x$$

Subtract $448x$ from both sides.

$$x\times 487-351-448x=0$$

Combine $x\times 487$ and $-448x$ to get $39x$.

$$39x-351=0$$

Add $351$ to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$39x=351$$

Divide both sides by $39$.

$$x=\frac{351}{39}$$

Divide $351$ by $39$ to get $9$.

$$x=9$$
