50000=\left(-R\right)\times 3+500\left(1+\frac{R}{5000}\right)\times 2\times 5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5000, the least common multiple of 5000,10.
50000=\left(-R\right)\times 3+1000\left(1+\frac{R}{5000}\right)\times 5
Multiply 500 and 2 to get 1000.
50000=\left(-R\right)\times 3+5000\left(1+\frac{R}{5000}\right)
Multiply 1000 and 5 to get 5000.
50000=\left(-R\right)\times 3+5000+5000\times \frac{R}{5000}
Use the distributive property to multiply 5000 by 1+\frac{R}{5000}.
50000=\left(-R\right)\times 3+5000+\frac{5000R}{5000}
Express 5000\times \frac{R}{5000} as a single fraction.
50000=\left(-R\right)\times 3+5000+R
Cancel out 5000 and 5000.
\left(-R\right)\times 3+5000+R=50000
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(-R\right)\times 3+R=50000-5000
Subtract 5000 from both sides.
\left(-R\right)\times 3+R=45000
Subtract 5000 from 50000 to get 45000.
-3R+R=45000
Multiply -1 and 3 to get -3.
-2R=45000
Combine -3R and R to get -2R.
R=\frac{45000}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
R=-22500
Divide 45000 by -2 to get -22500.
