Solve x-0.02*1.21x-left(x-235000right)*0.2=257000

$$x-0.02 \cdot 1.21x- \left( x-235000 \right) \times 0.2 = 257000$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{350000000}{1293} = 270688\frac{416}{1293} \approx 270688.321732405$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply 0.02 and 1.21 to get 0.0242.

$$x-0.0242x-\left(x-235000\right)\times 0.2=257000$$

Combine x and -0.0242x to get 0.9758x.

$$0.9758x-\left(x-235000\right)\times 0.2=257000$$

Use the distributive property to multiply x-235000 by 0.2.

$$0.9758x-\left(0.2x-47000\right)=257000$$

To find the opposite of 0.2x-47000, find the opposite of each term.

$$0.9758x-0.2x-\left(-47000\right)=257000$$

The opposite of -47000 is 47000.

$$0.9758x-0.2x+47000=257000$$

Combine 0.9758x and -0.2x to get 0.7758x.

$$0.7758x+47000=257000$$

Subtract 47000 from both sides.

$$0.7758x=257000-47000$$

Subtract 47000 from 257000 to get 210000.

$$0.7758x=210000$$

Divide both sides by 0.7758.

$$x=\frac{210000}{0.7758}$$

Expand \frac{210000}{0.7758} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10000.

$$x=\frac{2100000000}{7758}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2100000000}{7758} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 6.

$$x=\frac{350000000}{1293}$$
