21+0.14x-0.16x=17
Subtract 0.16x from both sides.
21-0.02x=17
Combine 0.14x and -0.16x to get -0.02x.
-0.02x=17-21
Subtract 21 from both sides.
-0.02x=-4
Subtract 21 from 17 to get -4.
x=\frac{-4}{-0.02}
Divide both sides by -0.02.
x=\frac{-400}{-2}
Expand \frac{-4}{-0.02} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x=200
Divide -400 by -2 to get 200.
