Question

How do I solve this ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and assume that those are a set of poorly made parenthesis. This, then, would be your equation:

$x+\frac{x}{7}+\frac{1}{11}(x+\frac{x}{7})=60$

The first thing to do is distribute through the parenthesis to get:

$x+\frac{x}{7}+\frac{x}{11}+\frac{x}{77}=60$

Next is to get rid of the denominators by multiplying by the LCM of 77:

$77(x+\frac{x}{7}+\frac{x}{11}+\frac{x}{77}=60)$ which gives you:

77x + 11x + 7x + x = 4620 and

96x = 4620 so

$x=\frac{385}{8}$
