Question

Solve the following equation for x.
0.1(x + 250) = 5,000
h

Answer 1

Answer:

x=49750

Step-by-step explanation:

0.1(x + 250) = 5,000

Divide each side by .1

0.1(x + 250)/.1 = 5,000/.1

x+250 =50000

Subtract 250 from each side

x+250-250 = 50000-250

x=49750

Answer 2

Step 1: divide by both sides by 0.1
x+250=50000
x=50000-250
x=49750
