Solve 120=(1.5-1.15)x

$$120=(1.5-1.15)x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{2400}{7} = 342\frac{6}{7} \approx 342.857142857$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 1.15 from 1.5 to get 0.35.

$$120=0.35x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$0.35x=120$$

Divide both sides by 0.35.

$$x=\frac{120}{0.35}$$

Expand \frac{120}{0.35} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{12000}{35}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{12000}{35} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x=\frac{2400}{7}$$
