Solve x*20%=x-360

$$x \times 20 \% =x-360$$

Solve for x

$$x=450$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$x\times \frac{1}{5}=x-360$$

Subtract x from both sides.

$$x\times \frac{1}{5}-x=-360$$

Combine x\times \frac{1}{5} and -x to get -\frac{4}{5}x.

$$-\frac{4}{5}x=-360$$

Multiply both sides by -\frac{5}{4}, the reciprocal of -\frac{4}{5}.

$$x=-360\left(-\frac{5}{4}\right)$$

Express -360\left(-\frac{5}{4}\right) as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-360\left(-5\right)}{4}$$

Multiply -360 and -5 to get 1800.

$$x=\frac{1800}{4}$$

Divide 1800 by 4 to get 450.

$$x=450$$
