Solve for x: 27/x + 29=38

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

27/x + 29=38

Multiply all terms by x and cancel:

27+29x=38x

29x+27=38x (Simplify both sides of the equation)

29x+27-38x=38x-38x (Subtract 38x from both sides)

-9x+27=0

-9x+27-27=0-27 (Subtract 27 from both sides)

-9x=-27

-9x

-9

=

-27

-9

(Divide both sides by - 9)

x=3
