Question

Solve the proportion to determine the value of x.

5x−44x+7 = 1311

Answer 1

Hi there!

Simplify th' Eqⁿ :-

5x - 44x + 7 = 1311

- 39x + 7 = 1311

Combine the like terms together :-

- 39x = 1311 - 7

- 39x = 1304

x = -
`\frac {1304}{39}` = - 33.435 ...

Hence,
The required answer is - 33.435 ...

Answer 2

Hi there!
Let's solve this equation step by step!


`5x - 44x + 7 = 1311`
First we collect terms on the left side. Subtract the 44x from the 5x.


`- 39x + 7 = 1311`
Now subtract 7 from both sides of the equation.


`- 39x = 1304`
And finally divide both sides of the equation by -39, in order to isolate the variable x.


`x = (1304)/( - 39) = - 33.435...`
The answer is about -33.4
