Solve 30000-x=(30000-x)*0.2

$$30000-x=(30000-x) \times 0.2$$

Solve for x

$$x=30000$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 30000-x by 0.2.

$$30000-x=6000-0.2x$$

Add 0.2x to both sides.

$$30000-x+0.2x=6000$$

Combine -x and 0.2x to get -0.8x.

$$30000-0.8x=6000$$

Subtract 30000 from both sides.

$$-0.8x=6000-30000$$

Subtract 30000 from 6000 to get -24000.

$$-0.8x=-24000$$

Divide both sides by -0.8.

$$x=\frac{-24000}{-0.8}$$

Expand \frac{-24000}{-0.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-240000}{-8}$$

Divide -240000 by -8 to get 30000.

$$x=30000$$
