Question

X
$x - 40 \div x = 1 \div 3$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

x-40/x =1/3

By cross multiplication,

3(x-40) = x(1)

3x-120 = x

3x-x =120

2x = 120

x = 120/2

x = 60

Answer 2

Here is your answer :-

• x-40/X=1/3
• x-40/X=1/3
• Now; by cross multiplication
• 3x-120=X
• 3x-x=120
• 2x=120
• X=60
