(c/x)=((c+4.8)/(10))  ⇒10c=xc+4.8x  ⇒c=((4.8x)/(10−x))  ((4.8)/x)=((4.8+c+x)/(10))  48=x(4.8+c+x)  48=x(4.8+x+((4.8x)/(10−x)))  48(10−x)=x[(4.8+x)(10−x)+4.8x]  480−48x=x(48+10x−4.8x−x^2 +4.8x)  480−48x=48x+10x^2 −x^3   ⇒x^3 −10x^2 −96x+480=0  ⇒x=4.0

$$\frac{{c}}{{x}}=\frac{{c}+\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}}{\mathrm{10}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{10}{c}={xc}+\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}{x} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{c}=\frac{\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}{x}}{\mathrm{10}−{x}} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}}{{x}}=\frac{\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}+{c}+{x}}{\mathrm{10}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{48}={x}\left(\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}+{c}+{x}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{48}={x}\left(\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}+{x}+\frac{\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}{x}}{\mathrm{10}−{x}}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{48}\left(\mathrm{10}−{x}\right)={x}\left[\left(\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}+{x}\right)\left(\mathrm{10}−{x}\right)+\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}{x}\right] \\ $$$$\mathrm{480}−\mathrm{48}{x}={x}\left(\mathrm{48}+\mathrm{10}{x}−\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}{x}−{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{8}{x}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{480}−\mathrm{48}{x}=\mathrm{48}{x}+\mathrm{10}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}^{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{10}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{96}{x}+\mathrm{480}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{0} \\ $$

there′s a mistake somewhere, MrW  from (c/x)=((c+4.8)/(10)) and ((4.8)/x)=((4.8+c+x)/(10)) I get  x^3 −10x^2 −96x+480=0  x_1 =3−(√(129)); c_1 =−9+(3/5)(√(129))  x_2 =3+(√(129)); c_2 =−9−(3/5)(√(129))  x_3 =4; c_3 =((16)/5)≈3.2

((4.8)/x)=((4.8+c+x)/(10))     ....(i)  ((10−x)/(4.8))=((10)/(4.8+c))       ...(ii)  ⇒   4.8+c = ((48)/(10−x))  So using this in (i)       ((48)/x) = ((48)/(10−x))+x    480−48x=48x+x^2 (10−x)    x^3 −10x^2 −96x+480=0    x= 4 .
