Solve 3/5x-20000=x

$$\frac { 3 } { 5 } x - 20000 = x$$

Solve for x

$$x=-50000$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x from both sides.

$$\frac{3}{5}x-20000-x=0$$

Combine \frac{3}{5}x and -x to get -\frac{2}{5}x.

$$-\frac{2}{5}x-20000=0$$

Add 20000 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-\frac{2}{5}x=20000$$

Multiply both sides by -\frac{5}{2}, the reciprocal of -\frac{2}{5}.

$$x=20000\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right)$$

Express 20000\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right) as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{20000\left(-5\right)}{2}$$

Multiply 20000 and -5 to get -100000.

$$x=\frac{-100000}{2}$$

Divide -100000 by 2 to get -50000.

$$x=-50000$$
