\left(x+4\right)\times 80000\times 2=x\times 176000
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -4,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x+4\right), the least common multiple of x,x+4.
\left(x+4\right)\times 160000=x\times 176000
Multiply 80000 and 2 to get 160000.
160000x+640000=x\times 176000
Use the distributive property to multiply x+4 by 160000.
160000x+640000-x\times 176000=0
Subtract x\times 176000 from both sides.
-16000x+640000=0
Combine 160000x and -x\times 176000 to get -16000x.
-16000x=-640000
Subtract 640000 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-640000}{-16000}
Divide both sides by -16000.
x=40
Divide -640000 by -16000 to get 40.
