Solve 35(8)+0.08x>400

$$35 ( 8 ) + 0.08 x > 400$$

Solve for x

$$x>1500$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 35 and 8 to get 280.

$$280+0.08x>400$$

Subtract 280 from both sides.

$$0.08x>400-280$$

Subtract 280 from 400 to get 120.

$$0.08x>120$$

Divide both sides by 0.08. Since 0.08 is positive, the inequality direction remains the same.

$$x>\frac{120}{0.08}$$

Expand \frac{120}{0.08} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x>\frac{12000}{8}$$

Divide 12000 by 8 to get 1500.

$$x>1500$$
