x=0.5\left(-x+50\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to 50 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+50.
x=-0.5x+25
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.5 by -x+50.
x+0.5x=25
Add 0.5x to both sides.
1.5x=25
Combine x and 0.5x to get 1.5x.
x=\frac{25}{1.5}
Divide both sides by 1.5.
x=\frac{250}{15}
Expand \frac{25}{1.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=\frac{50}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{250}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
