16x+60000-40x=42000
Use the distributive property to multiply 20 by 3000-2x.
-24x+60000=42000
Combine 16x and -40x to get -24x.
-24x=42000-60000
Subtract 60000 from both sides.
-24x=-18000
Subtract 60000 from 42000 to get -18000.
x=\frac{-18000}{-24}
Divide both sides by -24.
x=750
Divide -18000 by -24 to get 750.
