Solve 640 - 160/3 x = 320 + 160/3 (x - 3)

Evaluate

640 - \frac{160}{3} x = 320 + \frac{160}{3} (x - 3)

Simplify

More Steps

640 - \frac{160}{3} x = 160 + \frac{160}{3} x

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCM

(640 - \frac{160}{3} x) \times 3 = (160 + \frac{160}{3} x) \times 3

Calculate

More Steps

1920 - 160 x = (160 + \frac{160}{3} x) \times 3

Calculate

More Steps

1920 - 160 x = 480 + 160 x

Move the expression to the left side

1920 - 160 x - 160 x = 480

Move the expression to the right side

- 160 x - 160 x = 480 - 1920

Add and subtract

More Steps

- 320 x = 480 - 1920

Add and subtract

- 320 x = - 1440

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

320 x = 1440

Divide both sides

\frac{320 x}{320} = \frac{1440}{320}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{1440}{320}

Solution

x = \frac{9}{2}

Alternative Form

x = 4.5
