Solve x+x+140+(x+140)*1.2=2740

$$x+x+140+(x+140) \times 1.2=2740$$

Solve for x

$$x=760$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine x and x to get 2x.

$$2x+140+\left(x+140\right)\times 1.2=2740$$

Use the distributive property to multiply x+140 by 1.2.

$$2x+140+1.2x+168=2740$$

Combine 2x and 1.2x to get 3.2x.

$$3.2x+140+168=2740$$

Add 140 and 168 to get 308.

$$3.2x+308=2740$$

Subtract 308 from both sides.

$$3.2x=2740-308$$

Subtract 308 from 2740 to get 2432.

$$3.2x=2432$$

Divide both sides by 3.2.

$$x=\frac{2432}{3.2}$$

Expand \frac{2432}{3.2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{24320}{32}$$

Divide 24320 by 32 to get 760.

$$x=760$$
