30+x\times 25=85x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
30+x\times 25-85x=0
Subtract 85x from both sides.
30-60x=0
Combine x\times 25 and -85x to get -60x.
-60x=-30
Subtract 30 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-30}{-60}
Divide both sides by -60.
x=\frac{1}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-30}{-60} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -30.
