21x-1400000=1000000 Start with the given equation



21x=1000000%2B1400000Add 1400000 to both sides


21x=2400000 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%282400000%29%2F%2821%29 Divide both sides by 21 to isolate x



x=800000%2F7 Reduce

Answer:
So our answer is x=800000%2F7 (which is approximately x=114285.714285714 in decimal form)
