14.5+0.275x=x
Add 12 and 2.5 to get 14.5.
14.5+0.275x-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
14.5-0.725x=0
Combine 0.275x and -x to get -0.725x.
-0.725x=-14.5
Subtract 14.5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-14.5}{-0.725}
Divide both sides by -0.725.
x=\frac{-14500}{-725}
Expand \frac{-14.5}{-0.725} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.
x=20
Divide -14500 by -725 to get 20.
