4000000000\left(0.2-\frac{x}{200000}\right)=3200000000\left(0.3-\frac{x}{80000}\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 400000, the least common multiple of 200000,80000.
800000000+4000000000\left(-\frac{x}{200000}\right)=3200000000\left(0.3-\frac{x}{80000}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 4000000000 by 0.2-\frac{x}{200000}.
800000000-20000x=3200000000\left(0.3-\frac{x}{80000}\right)
Cancel out 200000, the greatest common factor in 4000000000 and 200000.
800000000-20000x=960000000+3200000000\left(-\frac{x}{80000}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3200000000 by 0.3-\frac{x}{80000}.
800000000-20000x=960000000-40000x
Cancel out 80000, the greatest common factor in 3200000000 and 80000.
800000000-20000x+40000x=960000000
Add 40000x to both sides.
800000000+20000x=960000000
Combine -20000x and 40000x to get 20000x.
20000x=960000000-800000000
Subtract 800000000 from both sides.
20000x=160000000
Subtract 800000000 from 960000000 to get 160000000.
x=\frac{160000000}{20000}
Divide both sides by 20000.
x=8000
Divide 160000000 by 20000 to get 8000.
