x/(28)=(x-1)/(50)

\frac{x}{28} = \frac{x - 1}{50}

x = - \frac{14}{11}

Decimal Notation

x = - 1.27272 \dots

Solution steps

\frac{x}{28} = \frac{x - 1}{50}

Multiply both sides by

10

\frac{5 x}{14} = \frac{x - 1}{5}

Apply fraction cross multiply: if

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}

then

a \cdot d = b \cdot c

5 x \cdot 5 = 14 (x - 1)

Simplify

25 x = 14 (x - 1)

Expand

14 (x - 1) : 14 x - 14

25 x = 14 x - 14

Move

14 x

to the left side

11 x = - 14

Divide both sides by

11

x = - \frac{14}{11}

p - 4 = 27

15 (0.2 k - 4) = k - 0.4 (80 - 15 k)

- 7 c + 9 = c + 1

6 x + 3 x = 90

8 x - 12 = 2 x + 6
