25\times 99=\left(8a+2\right)\left(x-999a\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 50\left(4a+1\right), the least common multiple of 8a+2,25.
2475=\left(8a+2\right)\left(x-999a\right)
Multiply 25 and 99 to get 2475.
2475=8ax-7992a^{2}+2x-1998a
Use the distributive property to multiply 8a+2 by x-999a.
8ax-7992a^{2}+2x-1998a=2475
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
8ax+2x-1998a=2475+7992a^{2}
Add 7992a^{2} to both sides.
8ax+2x=2475+7992a^{2}+1998a
Add 1998a to both sides.
\left(8a+2\right)x=2475+7992a^{2}+1998a
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(8a+2\right)x=7992a^{2}+1998a+2475
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(8a+2\right)x}{8a+2}=\frac{7992a^{2}+1998a+2475}{8a+2}
Divide both sides by 8a+2.
x=\frac{7992a^{2}+1998a+2475}{8a+2}
Dividing by 8a+2 undoes the multiplication by 8a+2.
x=\frac{9\left(888a^{2}+222a+275\right)}{2\left(4a+1\right)}
Divide 2475+7992a^{2}+1998a by 8a+2.
