Solve x+20%-25%=1500

$$x + 20 \% - 25 \% = 1500$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{30001}{20} = 1500\frac{1}{20} = 1500.05$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 20.

$$x+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{25}{100}=1500$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$x+\frac{1}{5}-\frac{1}{4}=1500$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 4 is 20. Convert \frac{1}{5} and \frac{1}{4} to fractions with denominator 20.

$$x+\frac{4}{20}-\frac{5}{20}=1500$$

Since \frac{4}{20} and \frac{5}{20} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x+\frac{4-5}{20}=1500$$

Subtract 5 from 4 to get -1.

$$x-\frac{1}{20}=1500$$

Add \frac{1}{20} to both sides.

$$x=1500+\frac{1}{20}$$

Convert 1500 to fraction \frac{30000}{20}.

$$x=\frac{30000}{20}+\frac{1}{20}$$

Since \frac{30000}{20} and \frac{1}{20} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{30000+1}{20}$$

Add 30000 and 1 to get 30001.

$$x=\frac{30001}{20}$$
