Question

What's the answer to 0.02x + 0.1 (6000) = 0.08 (x + 6000)

Answer 1

−6146.153846154

Explanation:

0.02x+6=0.8(x+6000)

0.02x+6=0.8x+4800

0.02x+6−0.8x=4800

−0.78x+6=4800

−0.78x=4800−6

−0.78x=4794

x=4794/-0.78

x=479400/-78

x=- 79900/13

Answer 2

X=2000

Explanation:

`0.02x + 0.1(6000) = 0.08(x + 6000)`

`0.02x + 600 = 0.08x + 480`

`600 - 480 = 0.08x - 0.02x`

`120 = 0.06x`

`x = (120)/(0.06)`

`x = (120 * 100)/(0.06 * 100)`

`x = (120)/(6) * 100`

`x = 20 * 100 = 2000`

X=2000
