SOLUTION: I need step by step breakdown on the following; solve for EBIT (ebit-4000)(1-0.5)-0 / 2000 = (ebit-8250)(1-0.5)-0 / 1500. My text states the answer is 21000, which pans out, but

Question 674329: I need step by step breakdown on the following; solve for EBIT
(ebit-4000)(1-0.5)-0 / 2000 = (ebit-8250)(1-0.5)-0 / 1500. My text states the answer is 21000, which pans out, but it doesn't show the work it used to come up with the answer

Hi

EBIT = x

 | Cross Multiply to solve for x = 21000

   750(x-4000) = 1000(x-8250)

    1000*8250-750*4000 = 250x

               5250000 = 250x

                   21000 = x
