Solve 50*0.98=(50+x)*0.2

$$50 \times 0.98=(50+x) \times 0.2$$

Solve for x

$$x=195$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 50 and 0.98 to get 49.

$$49=\left(50+x\right)\times 0.2$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 50+x by 0.2.

$$49=10+0.2x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$10+0.2x=49$$

Subtract 10 from both sides.

$$0.2x=49-10$$

Subtract 10 from 49 to get 39.

$$0.2x=39$$

Divide both sides by 0.2.

$$x=\frac{39}{0.2}$$

Expand \frac{39}{0.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{390}{2}$$

Divide 390 by 2 to get 195.

$$x=195$$
