Question

$$8/7=x/56$$

Solve for x

$x=64$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by $56$.

$$\frac{8}{7}\times 56=x$$

Express $\frac{8}{7}\times 56$ as a single fraction.

$$\frac{8\times 56}{7}=x$$

Multiply $8$ and $56$ to get $448$.

$$\frac{448}{7}=x$$

Divide $448$ by $7$ to get $64$.

$$64=x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x=64$$
