60000-2x=\left(30000-x\right)\times 100
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
60000-2x=3000000-100x
Use the distributive property to multiply 30000-x by 100.
60000-2x+100x=3000000
Add 100x to both sides.
60000+98x=3000000
Combine -2x and 100x to get 98x.
98x=3000000-60000
Subtract 60000 from both sides.
98x=2940000
Subtract 60000 from 3000000 to get 2940000.
x=\frac{2940000}{98}
Divide both sides by 98.
x=30000
Divide 2940000 by 98 to get 30000.
