Solve 1-x/25=1-0.7/15

$$\frac{ 1-x }{ 25 } = \frac{ 1-0.7 }{ 15 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 75, the least common multiple of 25,15.

$$3\left(1-x\right)=5\left(1-0.7\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 1-x.

$$3-3x=5\left(1-0.7\right)$$

Subtract 0.7 from 1 to get 0.3.

$$3-3x=5\times 0.3$$

Multiply 5 and 0.3 to get 1.5.

$$3-3x=1.5$$

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$$-3x=1.5-3$$

Subtract 3 from 1.5 to get -1.5.

$$-3x=-1.5$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$x=\frac{-1.5}{-3}$$

Expand \frac{-1.5}{-3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-15}{-30}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-15}{-30} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -15.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}$$
