Solve 80=50+left(x-50right)0.1

$$80 = 50+ \left( x-50 \right) 0.1$$

Solve for x

$$x=350$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply x-50 by 0.1.

$$80=50+0.1x-5$$

Subtract 5 from 50 to get 45.

$$80=45+0.1x$$

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

$$45+0.1x=80$$

Subtract 45 from both sides.

$$0.1x=80-45$$

Subtract 45 from 80 to get 35.

$$0.1x=35$$

Divide both sides by 0.1.

$$x=\frac{35}{0.1}$$

Expand \frac{35}{0.1} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10. Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$x=350$$
