35000%2B250x=17615%2B550x Start with the given equation.


250x=17615%2B550x-35000 Subtract 35000 from both sides.


250x-550x=17615-35000 Subtract 550x from both sides.


-300x=17615-35000 Combine like terms on the left side.


-300x=-17385 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-17385%29%2F%28-300%29 Divide both sides by -300 to isolate x.


x=1159%2F20 Reduce.
