Question

$$\frac{1}{R_{T}}=\frac{11}{30}$$

Solve for R_T

$R_{T} = \frac{30}{11} = 2\frac{8}{11} \approx 2.727272727$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $R_{T}$ cannot be equal to $0$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $30R_{T}$, the least common multiple of $R_{T},30$.

$$30=11R_{T}$$

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

$$11R_{T}=30$$

Divide both sides by $11$.

$$R_{T}=\frac{30}{11}$$
