Question

1,000(x – 2) = 75,000

Answer 1

multiply 1000 and x and then multiply 1000 time -2, so its gonna be 1000x-2000=75000. the subtract 2000 on both sidesx so its gonna be 1000x= then divide 1000 on both sides

Answer 2

1000(x-2)=75,000
first you need to multiply the two variables on the left
by doing this you get,
1,000x-2,000=75,000
now you want to get x alone by itself so you will then add 2,000 to 75,000 giving you 77,000
this leaves you with 1,000x=77,000
from this you then just divide both sides by 1,000. giving you
x=77,000/1,000 from then on you just divide giving you the final answer of.
x=77
hope this helps
