4400/(x+90)=200 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{4400}{x + 90} = 200$$
Use proportions rule:
From a1/b1 = a2/b2 should a1*b2 = a2*b1,
In this case
a1 = 4400
b1 = 90 + x
a2 = 1
b2 = 1/200
so we get the equation
$$\frac{4400}{200} = x + 90$$
$$22 = x + 90$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$0 = x + 68$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$- x = 68$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -1
x = 68 / (-1)
We get the answer: x = -68
