Answer:

0.13x+(70000-x)0.05=6000

We move all terms to the left:

0.13x+(70000-x)0.05-(6000)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

0.13x+(-1x+70000)0.05-6000=0

We multiply parentheses

0.13x-0.05x+3500-6000=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

0.08x-2500=0

We move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right

0.08x=2500

x=2500/0.08

x=31250
