Solve 250*15=5000/60-x

$$250 \times 15 = \frac{ 5000 }{ 60-x }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{176}{3} = 58\frac{2}{3} \approx 58.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 60 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+60.

$$250\times 15\left(-x+60\right)=5000$$

Multiply 250 and 15 to get 3750.

$$3750\left(-x+60\right)=5000$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3750 by -x+60.

$$-3750x+225000=5000$$

Subtract 225000 from both sides.

$$-3750x=5000-225000$$

Subtract 225000 from 5000 to get -220000.

$$-3750x=-220000$$

Divide both sides by -3750.

$$x=\frac{-220000}{-3750}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-220000}{-3750} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -1250.

$$x=\frac{176}{3}$$
