Solve 250,000(15)=5000/60-x

$$250,000 ( 15 ) = \frac { 5000 } { 60 - x }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{44999}{750} = 59\frac{749}{750} \approx 59.998666667$$

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.

$$250000\times 15\left(-x+60\right)=5000$$

Multiply 250000 and 15 to get 3750000.

$$3750000\left(-x+60\right)=5000$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 3750000 by -x+60.

$$-3750000x+225000000=5000$$

Subtract 225000000 from both sides.

$$-3750000x=5000-225000000$$

Subtract 225000000 from 5000 to get -224995000.

$$-3750000x=-224995000$$

Divide both sides by -3750000.

$$x=\frac{-224995000}{-3750000}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-224995000}{-3750000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -5000.

$$x=\frac{44999}{750}$$
