Question
$$4844-\frac{10}{100}+7.014+880 = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 4844-\frac{10}{100}+7.014+880 &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 100 }. \\[1 em]100\cdot4844-100\cdot\frac{10}{100}+100\cdot7.014+100\cdot880 &= 100\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]484400-10+700+88000 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]573090 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 573090 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
