Answer:
[tex]x = \frac{770}{16}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]x + \frac{x}{7} + \frac{1}{11} (x + \frac{x}{7}) = 60[/tex]
Required
Solve for x
[tex]x + \frac{x}{7} + \frac{1}{11} (x + \frac{x}{7}) = 60[/tex]
Start by solving the bracket [Take LCM]
[tex]x + \frac{x}{7} + \frac{1}{11} (\frac{7x + x}{7}) = 60[/tex]
[tex]x + \frac{x}{7} + \frac{1}{11} (\frac{8x}{7}) = 60[/tex]
Open the bracket
[tex]x + \frac{x}{7} + \frac{8x}{77} = 60[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]\frac{77x + 11x + 8x}{77} = 60[/tex]
[tex]\frac{77x + 11x + 8x}{77} = 60[/tex]
[tex]\frac{96x}{77} = 60[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 77
[tex]77 * \frac{96x}{77} = 60 * 77[/tex]
[tex]96x = 60 * 77[/tex]
Divide both sides by 96
[tex]\frac{96x}{96} = \frac{60 * 77}{96}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{60 * 77}{96}[/tex]
Divide the numerator and denominator by 6
[tex]x = \frac{10 * 77}{16}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{770}{16}[/tex]
