Solution - Linear equations with one unknown
Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "0.49" was replaced by "(49/100)".
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
(49/100)*x-(45)=0
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
49
Simplify ———
100
Equation at the end of step 1 :
49
(——— • x) - 45 = 0
100
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 100 as the denominator :
45 45 • 100
45 = —— = ————————
1 100
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
49x - (45 • 100) 49x - 4500
———————————————— = ——————————
100 100
Equation at the end of step 2 :
49x - 4500
—————————— = 0
100
Step 3 :
When a fraction equals zero :
3.1 When a fraction equals zero ...Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.
Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.
Here's how:
49x-4500
———————— • 100 = 0 • 100
100
Now, on the left hand side, the 100 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.
The equation now takes the shape :
49x-4500 = 0
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
3.2 Solve : 49x-4500 = 0
Add 4500 to both sides of the equation :
49x = 4500
Divide both sides of the equation by 49:
x = 4500/49 = 91.837
One solution was found :
x = 4500/49 = 91.837How did we do?
