Question

3,000 + 5,045x = 5,545x

Answer 1

x = 6

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5045x + 3000 = 5545x

Step 2: Subtract 5545x from both sides.

5045x + 3000 − 5545x = 5545x − 5545x

−500x + 3000 = 0

Step 3: Subtract 3000 from both sides.

−500x + 3000 − 3000 = 0 − 3000

−500x=−3000

Step 4: Divide both sides by -500.

−500x/−500 = −3000/−500

Answer: x=6
