Solve 0.04+0.02left(32000-xright)=1120

$$0.04+0.02 \left( 32000-x \right) =1120$$

Solve for x

$$x=-23998$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 0.02 by 32000-x.

$$0.04+640-0.02x=1120$$

Add 0.04 and 640 to get 640.04.

$$640.04-0.02x=1120$$

Subtract 640.04 from both sides.

$$-0.02x=1120-640.04$$

Subtract 640.04 from 1120 to get 479.96.

$$-0.02x=479.96$$

Divide both sides by -0.02.

$$x=\frac{479.96}{-0.02}$$

Expand \frac{479.96}{-0.02} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{47996}{-2}$$

Divide 47996 by -2 to get -23998.

$$x=-23998$$
