SOLUTION: solve for x in the following equation: x% = (2x + 1)/300 i SET IT UP LIKE THIS AND TRIED IT BUT NOT SURE I DID IT RIGHT 2X +

Question 23892: solve for x in the following equation: x% = (2x + 1)/300

i SET IT UP LIKE THIS AND TRIED IT BUT NOT SURE I DID IT RIGHT
2X + 1/300 = X/100
300X=200X+200
100X/100= 200X/100
X=1/2
