12+0.1x-0.08x=17
Subtract 0.08x from both sides.
12+0.02x=17
Combine 0.1x and -0.08x to get 0.02x.
0.02x=17-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
0.02x=5
Subtract 12 from 17 to get 5.
x=\frac{5}{0.02}
Divide both sides by 0.02.
x=\frac{500}{2}
Expand \frac{5}{0.02} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x=250
Divide 500 by 2 to get 250.
