3.8x+3.919\times 3950=3.85\left(x+3950\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -3950 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+3950.
3.8x+15480.05=3.85\left(x+3950\right)
Multiply 3.919 and 3950 to get 15480.05.
3.8x+15480.05=3.85x+15207.5
Use the distributive property to multiply 3.85 by x+3950.
3.8x+15480.05-3.85x=15207.5
Subtract 3.85x from both sides.
-0.05x+15480.05=15207.5
Combine 3.8x and -3.85x to get -0.05x.
-0.05x=15207.5-15480.05
Subtract 15480.05 from both sides.
-0.05x=-272.55
Subtract 15480.05 from 15207.5 to get -272.55.
x=\frac{-272.55}{-0.05}
Divide both sides by -0.05.
x=\frac{-27255}{-5}
Expand \frac{-272.55}{-0.05} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x=5451
Divide -27255 by -5 to get 5451.
