0.06x+8-0.08x=6.5
Use the distributive property to multiply 0.08 by 100-x.
-0.02x+8=6.5
Combine 0.06x and -0.08x to get -0.02x.
-0.02x=6.5-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
-0.02x=-1.5
Subtract 8 from 6.5 to get -1.5.
x=\frac{-1.5}{-0.02}
Divide both sides by -0.02.
x=\frac{-150}{-2}
Expand \frac{-1.5}{-0.02} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x=75
Divide -150 by -2 to get 75.
