50\left(\frac{3}{10}x+4.5\right)=x\times 18
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 100x, the least common multiple of 2x,100.
15x+225=x\times 18
Use the distributive property to multiply 50 by \frac{3}{10}x+4.5.
15x+225-x\times 18=0
Subtract x\times 18 from both sides.
-3x+225=0
Combine 15x and -x\times 18 to get -3x.
-3x=-225
Subtract 225 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-225}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=75
Divide -225 by -3 to get 75.
