Seems Simple, forgetting some fundamentals - 1.6 3.01 = x 1000 + x I am having trouble remembering/finding simple source to review a few fundamentals. I know I need to factor and try getting x alone. Though not able to recreate answer. Seems it would have multiple roots. Would be great to see the proper steps to solve. 1.6 3.01 = x 1000 + x

It&#039;s much easier than you think.      a    b    =      c    d      ⟺    a  d  =  b  c  ;  b  ≠  0  ;  d  ≠  0So      1.6    3.01    =      x          1000      +      x          ⟹    (  1000  +  x  )      1.6    3.01    =  (  1000  +  x  )      x          1000      +      x          ⟹    (  1000  +  x  )      1.6    3.01    =  x    ⟹    (  1000  +  x  )      1.6    3.01    ∗  3.01  =  x  ∗  3.01    ⟹    1.6  (  1000  +  x  )  =  3.01  xJust solve that.(i.e.  1600  +  1.6  x  =  3.01  x  1600  =  3.01  x  −  1.6  x  =  1.41  x  x  =      1600    1.41  If you want to be pervese:      1.6    3.01    =      x          1000      +      x            160    301    =      1                  1000        x            +      1            301    160    =      1000    x    +  1  1      141    160    −  1  =      1000    x        141    160    =      1000    x        160    141    =      x    1000        160000    141    =  x

It does not have multiple roots, since the order of x is just one. The multiplication happens between constants (numbers) so it does not affect the number of solutions.      1.6    3.01    =      x          1000      +      x        ⇔  1.6  (  1000  +  x  )  =  3.01  x  ⇔  1600  +  1.6  x  =  3.01  x  ⇔  1.41  x  =  1600  ⇔                              x          =                      1600            1.41

Seems Simple, forgetting some fundamentals - (1.6)/(3.01) = x/(1000+x)
