Algebra Problem: I've forgotten how to solve 1-3384/x=.95

[kagard]

I cannot remember how to solve for this problem: 1 - 3384 / x = 0.95

I would really appreciate some help!!

I know I have to use the reciprocal somehow, but have totally blanked out!

Multiply both sides of the equation by x/.95

 

[kagard]

I am still not getting this. I multiplied both sides by x/.95 but still did not get the right answer of 67680. I keep getting -3561.1...Thanks for your help!

Perhaps you have not gotten an "acceptable" answer because we aren't sure what your question is....

Do you mean this?

(1 -(.3384)) / x = .95

do you mean this?

1 - (.3384/x) = .95

Please repost with the exact statement of the problem
