Solve 300000-x=(30000-x)*0.2

$$300000-x=(30000-x) \times 0.2$$

Solve for x

$$x=367500$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$300000-x=6000-0.2x$$

Add 0.2x to both sides.

$$300000-x+0.2x=6000$$

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

$$300000-0.8x=6000$$

Subtract 300000 from both sides.

$$-0.8x=6000-300000$$

Subtract 300000 from 6000 to get -294000.

$$-0.8x=-294000$$

Divide both sides by -0.8.

$$x=\frac{-294000}{-0.8}$$

Expand \frac{-294000}{-0.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-2940000}{-8}$$

Divide -2940000 by -8 to get 367500.

$$x=367500$$
