350\times 0.75=0.4\left(x+350\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -350 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+350.
262.5=0.4\left(x+350\right)
Multiply 350 and 0.75 to get 262.5.
262.5=0.4x+140
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.4 by x+350.
0.4x+140=262.5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
0.4x=262.5-140
Subtract 140 from both sides.
0.4x=122.5
Subtract 140 from 262.5 to get 122.5.
x=\frac{122.5}{0.4}
Divide both sides by 0.4.
x=\frac{1225}{4}
Expand \frac{122.5}{0.4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
