Solve -1000*0.015+x*0.985>1000

$$-1000 \times 0.015+x \times 0.985 > 1000$$

Solve for x

$$x>\frac{203000}{197}$$

Solution Steps

Multiply -1000 and 0.015 to get -15.

$$-15+x\times 0.985>1000$$

Add 15 to both sides.

$$x\times 0.985>1000+15$$

Add 1000 and 15 to get 1015.

$$x\times 0.985>1015$$

Divide both sides by 0.985. Since 0.985 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

$$x>\frac{1015}{0.985}$$

Expand \frac{1015}{0.985} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 1000.

$$x>\frac{1015000}{985}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{1015000}{985} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x>\frac{203000}{197}$$
