Question
Solve the equation
x1=0,x2=271
Alternative Form
x1=0,x2=0.0˙37˙
Evaluate
361×x3=331×x4
Rewrite the expression
36x3=33x4
Cross multiply
x3×33=36x4
Simplify the equation
33x3=36x4
Rewrite the expression
33x3=33×27x4
Evaluate
x3=27x4
Move the expression to the left side
x3−27x4=0
Factor the expression
x3(1−27x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=01−27x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=01−27x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−27x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−27x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−27x=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
27x=1
Divide both sides
2727x=271
Divide the numbers
x=271
x=0x=271
Solution
