Physics problem(sound waves)?

470 = [1/(1-x/346)]450
im having a hard time solving for x
please show me how to to this
i know 346 is wrong for the speed of sound waves through air but its the number my teacher gave me so i figured i should use it instead of 343.
 
Here is how you solve for x:

470 = [1 / (1 - x / 346)]450
470 = [1(346 / 1-x)]450
470 = [346 / 1 - x]450
470 = 155,700 / 1 - x
470 - 470x = 155,700
-470x = 155,230
x = -330.27659574
x = -330.3

Hope this helped :-]
