1.00167*(600-2.5X)= 400
Divide both sides by 1.00167 to get::
600 - 2.5x = 399.3331137
Subtract 600 from both sides to get:
-2.5x = -200.6668863
Divide both sides by -2.5 to get::
What is the value of X?
X = 80.26675452

1.00167%2A%28600-2.5X%29=+400

Simplify and isolate any terms of X and combine, if any. One or two simple more steps maybe.

600-2.5X=400%2F1.00167
-2.5X=400%2F1.00167-600
X=-%28400%2F1.00167-600%29%281%2F2.5%29
highlight_green%28X=%28600-400%2F1.00167%29%2F2.5%29
Compute this in whatever way your skills suggest.
