To solve this equation, we need to follow the order of operations (also known as PEMDAS or BODMAS):
Start by simplifying the expression inside the parentheses: 15x - 84 = 15x - 84
Divide 15x - 84 by 6: (15x - 84) ÷ 6 = (15x ÷ 6) - (84 ÷ 6) = (5x - 14)
Add 19 to (5x - 14) and divide the result by 100: 19 + (5x - 14) = 5x + 5 100 ÷ (5x + 5) = 4
Now, we can set up the equation:
4 = 100 ÷ (5x + 5)
To isolate the variable, we can multiply both sides by (5x + 5):
4(5x + 5) = 100
20x + 20 = 100
Subtract 20 from both sides:
20x = 80
Divide both sides by 20:
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 4.
