How do you solve for x?

Question

1.56=x/1-x

Answer 1

yes i got it!!

your answer is right...it is 0.61

take 1.56 as your LHS (left hand side) n (x/1-x) as ur RHS (right hand side)

now cross multiply both the sides

the denominatior of RHS will come to the left   that is

the new equation wud be.......

(1-x)1.56 = x

(got it coz we hav cross multiplied n so the denominator of ur RHS cums to the left )

hence

(1-x)1.56  =  x

distribute the stuff inside the bracet wid 1.56 n u get

1.56 - 1.56x = x

group both x on one side

so       1.56 = x + 1.56x

tht gives u

          1.56 = 2.56x (1.56x+x)

hence x =   1.56/2.56           or .609   or .61

hope this helped

Answer 2

multiple both sides by 1-x

you'll get 1.56 - 1.56x = x

get x's on one side making it 1.56 = 2.56x

then divide to get your answer.

Answer 3

1.56         =x/(1-x)

1.56*(1-x) =x

1.56-1.56x=x

1.56         =2.56x

x             =1.56/2.56

               =0.609375

It is round up to 0.61

Answer 4

If the x/1 means x divided by one then you can ignore that and just say 1.56=x-x meaning that...errrrr wait....c**p

Answer 5

1.56 = x / (1 - x)

1.56(1 - x) = x

1.56 - 1.56x = x

1.56 = 2.56 x

.61 ~ x

hope that helps!  : )
