\frac{60}{900}=\frac{x_{1}-200}{250}
Divide both sides by 900.
\frac{1}{15}=\frac{x_{1}-200}{250}
Reduce the fraction \frac{60}{900} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 60.
\frac{1}{15}\times 250=x_{1}-200
Multiply both sides by 250.
\frac{250}{15}=x_{1}-200
Multiply \frac{1}{15} and 250 to get \frac{250}{15}.
\frac{50}{3}=x_{1}-200
Reduce the fraction \frac{250}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.
x_{1}-200=\frac{50}{3}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x_{1}=\frac{50}{3}+200
Add 200 to both sides.
x_{1}=\frac{50}{3}+\frac{600}{3}
Convert 200 to fraction \frac{600}{3}.
x_{1}=\frac{50+600}{3}
Since \frac{50}{3} and \frac{600}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
x_{1}=\frac{650}{3}
Add 50 and 600 to get 650.
