Solve x+40012.5/100=300*70/100

$$x+400 \frac{ 12.5 }{ 100 } = 300 \times \frac{ 70 }{ 100 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=-190.125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 100.

$$100x+400\times 100+12.5=300\times 70$$

Multiply 400 and 100 to get 40000.

$$100x+40000+12.5=300\times 70$$

Add 40000 and 12.5 to get 40012.5.

$$100x+40012.5=300\times 70$$

Multiply 300 and 70 to get 21000.

$$100x+40012.5=21000$$

Subtract 40012.5 from both sides.

$$100x=21000-40012.5$$

Subtract 40012.5 from 21000 to get -19012.5.

$$100x=-19012.5$$

Divide both sides by 100.

$$x=\frac{-19012.5}{100}$$
