Solve (x*.05*1)+((x-1500)*.04*1)=156

$$(x \times .05 \times 1)+((x-1500) \times .04 \times 1)=156$$

Solve for x

$$x=2400$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 0.05 and 1 to get 0.05.

$$x\times 0.05+\left(x-1500\right)\times 0.04\times 1=156$$

Multiply 0.04 and 1 to get 0.04.

$$x\times 0.05+\left(x-1500\right)\times 0.04=156$$

Use the distributive property to multiply x-1500 by 0.04.

$$x\times 0.05+0.04x-60=156$$

Combine x\times 0.05 and 0.04x to get 0.09x.

$$0.09x-60=156$$

Add 60 to both sides.

$$0.09x=156+60$$

Add 156 and 60 to get 216.

$$0.09x=216$$

Divide both sides by 0.09.

$$x=\frac{216}{0.09}$$

Expand \frac{216}{0.09} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{21600}{9}$$

Divide 21600 by 9 to get 2400.

$$x=2400$$
