17000+0.12x-0.05x=20000
Subtract 0.05x from both sides.
17000+0.07x=20000
Combine 0.12x and -0.05x to get 0.07x.
0.07x=20000-17000
Subtract 17000 from both sides.
0.07x=3000
Subtract 17000 from 20000 to get 3000.
x=\frac{3000}{0.07}
Divide both sides by 0.07.
x=\frac{300000}{7}
Expand \frac{3000}{0.07} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
