\left(x-160\right)\times 200+\left(x-170\right)\times 400\geq 0\times 2
Multiply both sides of the equation by 100000. Since 100000 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
200x-32000+\left(x-170\right)\times 400\geq 0\times 2
Use the distributive property to multiply x-160 by 200.
200x-32000+400x-68000\geq 0\times 2
Use the distributive property to multiply x-170 by 400.
600x-32000-68000\geq 0\times 2
Combine 200x and 400x to get 600x.
600x-100000\geq 0\times 2
Subtract 68000 from -32000 to get -100000.
600x-100000\geq 0
Multiply 0 and 2 to get 0.
600x\geq 100000
Add 100000 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x\geq \frac{100000}{600}
Divide both sides by 600. Since 600 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.
x\geq \frac{500}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{100000}{600} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 200.
