Question 414525
{{{35000+250x=17615+550x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{250x=17615+550x-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=(-17385)/(-300)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-300}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=1159/20}}} Reduce.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=1159/20}}} which in decimal form is {{{x=57.95}}}
