Question 498796: How do I solve C = 6,000/200 - 2x
x=75%
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = 75% = .75
formula becomes:
C = 6000 / 200 - 2*.75 which becomes:
C = 6000 / 200 - 1.5
now the question becomes:
is it (6000 / 200) - 1.5
or is it 6000 / (200 - 1.5)
you'll get a different answer depending on what the original question intended.
was this equation given to you as such, or was it a word problem that you had to develop an equation for?
if so, what does the word problem ask?
75% is not usually used as the value for x.
