Question 146524


{{{.05x+1295=20x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{100(.05x+1295)=100(20x)}}} Multiply both sides by 100 to clear out the decimals.



{{{5x+129500=2000x}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{5x=2000x-129500}}} Subtract {{{129500}}} from both sides.



{{{5x-2000x=-129500}}} Subtract {{{2000x}}} from both sides.



{{{-1995x=-129500}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(-129500)/(-1995)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1995}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=3700/57}}} Reduce.
