\left(x+30\right)\times 1000=x\times 1600
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -30,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x+30\right), the least common multiple of x,x+30.
1000x+30000=x\times 1600
Use the distributive property to multiply x+30 by 1000.
1000x+30000-x\times 1600=0
Subtract x\times 1600 from both sides.
-600x+30000=0
Combine 1000x and -x\times 1600 to get -600x.
-600x=-30000
Subtract 30000 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-30000}{-600}
Divide both sides by -600.
x=50
Divide -30000 by -600 to get 50.
