Solve 5000+2.5x=left(1480+xright)2.2

$$5000+2.5x = \left( 1480+x \right) 2.2$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{17440}{3} = -5813\frac{1}{3} \approx -5813.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply 1480+x by 2.2.

$$5000+2.5x=3256+2.2x$$

Subtract 2.2x from both sides.

$$5000+2.5x-2.2x=3256$$

Combine 2.5x and -2.2x to get 0.3x.

$$5000+0.3x=3256$$

Subtract 5000 from both sides.

$$0.3x=3256-5000$$

Subtract 5000 from 3256 to get -1744.

$$0.3x=-1744$$

Divide both sides by 0.3.

$$x=\frac{-1744}{0.3}$$

Expand \frac{-1744}{0.3} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{-17440}{3}$$

Fraction \frac{-17440}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{17440}{3} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{17440}{3}$$
