y\left(x-50\right)=25000+0.42x
Variable x cannot be equal to 50 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-50.
yx-50y=25000+0.42x
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x-50.
yx-50y-0.42x=25000
Subtract 0.42x from both sides.
yx-0.42x=25000+50y
Add 50y to both sides.
\left(y-0.42\right)x=25000+50y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(y-\frac{21}{50}\right)x=50y+25000
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(y-\frac{21}{50}\right)x}{y-\frac{21}{50}}=\frac{50y+25000}{y-\frac{21}{50}}
Divide both sides by y-\frac{21}{50}.
x=\frac{50y+25000}{y-\frac{21}{50}}
Dividing by y-\frac{21}{50} undoes the multiplication by y-\frac{21}{50}.
x=\frac{2500\left(y+500\right)}{50y-21}
Divide 25000+50y by y-\frac{21}{50}.
x=\frac{2500\left(y+500\right)}{50y-21}\text{, }x\neq 50
Variable x cannot be equal to 50.
