Solve left(x-1500right)0.15=2000

$$\left( x-1500 \right) 0.15 = 2000$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{44500}{3} = 14833\frac{1}{3} \approx 14833.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 0.15.

$$x-1500=\frac{2000}{0.15}$$

Expand \frac{2000}{0.15} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x-1500=\frac{200000}{15}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{200000}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x-1500=\frac{40000}{3}$$

Add 1500 to both sides.

$$x=\frac{40000}{3}+1500$$

Convert 1500 to fraction \frac{4500}{3}.

$$x=\frac{40000}{3}+\frac{4500}{3}$$

Since \frac{40000}{3} and \frac{4500}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{40000+4500}{3}$$

Add 40000 and 4500 to get 44500.

$$x=\frac{44500}{3}$$
