First, set up the equation.
365x + 125 = 250x + 175

Second, combine like terms on the same side by subtracting 250x and 125 from both sides.

365x +125 = 250x + 175
-250x -125 -250x -125
__________________
115x = 50

Third, divide both sides by 115 to solve for x.

115x = 50
---- ----
115 115

Fourth, simplify.

x=50/115=10/23 or 0.435
