Work: Find the solution of equation 40/(x-40) = 60/(x+60) .
Question type: Equation
Solution:Original question:
| 40 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 40 | ) | = | 60 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 60 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 40 | ) | , | ( | x | + | 60 | ) |
| 40 | ( | x | + | 60 | ) | = | 60 | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
| 40 | x | + | 40 | × | 60 | = | 60 | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
| 40 | x | + | 40 | × | 60 | = | 60 | x | − | 60 | × | 40 |
| 40 | x | + | 2400 | = | 60 | x | − | 2400 |
Transposition :
| 40 | x | − | 60 | x | = | - | 2400 | − | 2400 |
Combine the items on the left of the equation:
| - | 20 | x | = | - | 2400 | − | 2400 |
Combine the items on the right of the equation:
| - | 20 | x | = | - | 4800 |
By shifting the terms and changing the symbols on toth sides of the equation, we obtain :
| 4800 | = | 20 | x |
If the left side of the equation is equal to the right side, then the right side must also be equal to the left side, that is :
| 20 | x | = | 4800 |
The coefficient of the unknown number is reduced to 1 :
| x | = | 4800 | ÷ | 20 |
| = | 4800 | × | 1 20 |
| = | 240 | × | 1 |
We obtained :
| x | = | 240 |
