\left(x+10\right)\times 1500\times 2=x\times 16000
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -10,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x+10\right), the least common multiple of x,x+10.
\left(x+10\right)\times 3000=x\times 16000
Multiply 1500 and 2 to get 3000.
3000x+30000=x\times 16000
Use the distributive property to multiply x+10 by 3000.
3000x+30000-x\times 16000=0
Subtract x\times 16000 from both sides.
-13000x+30000=0
Combine 3000x and -x\times 16000 to get -13000x.
-13000x=-30000
Subtract 30000 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-30000}{-13000}
Divide both sides by -13000.
x=\frac{30}{13}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-30000}{-13000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -1000.
