x\times 40000=\left(x+50\right)\times 30000
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -50,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x+50\right), the least common multiple of x+50,x.
x\times 40000=30000x+1500000
Use the distributive property to multiply x+50 by 30000.
x\times 40000-30000x=1500000
Subtract 30000x from both sides.
10000x=1500000
Combine x\times 40000 and -30000x to get 10000x.
x=\frac{1500000}{10000}
Divide both sides by 10000.
x=150
Divide 1500000 by 10000 to get 150.
