-\left(800000+90000x-35000x\right)=\left(1000x-40000\right)\times 100
Variable x cannot be equal to 40 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5000\left(x-40\right), the least common multiple of 200000+10000x-15000x,5.
-\left(800000+55000x\right)=\left(1000x-40000\right)\times 100
Combine 90000x and -35000x to get 55000x.
-800000-55000x=\left(1000x-40000\right)\times 100
To find the opposite of 800000+55000x, find the opposite of each term.
-800000-55000x=100000x-4000000
Use the distributive property to multiply 1000x-40000 by 100.
-800000-55000x-100000x=-4000000
Subtract 100000x from both sides.
-800000-155000x=-4000000
Combine -55000x and -100000x to get -155000x.
-155000x=-4000000+800000
Add 800000 to both sides.
-155000x=-3200000
Add -4000000 and 800000 to get -3200000.
x=\frac{-3200000}{-155000}
Divide both sides by -155000.
x=\frac{640}{31}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-3200000}{-155000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -5000.
