The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{x}{x + 74} = \frac{3}{40}$$
Multiply the equation sides by the denominator 74 + x
we get:
$$x = \frac{3 x}{40} + \frac{111}{20}$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{37 x}{40} = \frac{111}{20}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by 37/40
x = 111/20 / (37/40)
We get the answer: x = 6
