x%2F5=x%2F6%2B7000 to solve for x, firs isolate x
x%2F5=x%2F6%2B7000.........add -x%2F6 to both sides
x%2F5+-x%2F6+=+x%2F6+-x%2F6+%2B7000

x%2F5+-x%2F6+=+cross%28x%2F6%29+-cross%28x%2F6%29+%2B7000

x%2F5+-x%2F6+=+7000.......LCD for left side 30

6x%2F30+-5x%2F30+=+7000

%286x+-5x%29%2F30+=+7000

x%2F30+=+7000

x+=+7000%2A30
x+=+210000


check:

210000%2F5=210000%2F6%2B7000
42000=35000%2B7000
42000=42000
