Solve the following equation
215+0.035x=242+0.025x
Solve for x
215 + 0.035x = 242 + 0.025x
Group variables
Group our variables 0.035x and 0.025x
subtract 0.025x from both sides
0.035x + 215 - 0.025x = 0.025x + 242 - 0.025x
Cancel 0.025x on the right side:
0.01x + 215 = 242
Divide each side by 215
| 215x | |
| 215 |
| = |
| 0.035 |
| 215 |
Group constants
Group our constants 215 and 242.
subtract 215 from both sides
0.01x + 215 - 215 = 242 - 215
Cancel 215 on the left side:
0.01x = 27
Divide each side of the equation by 0.01
| 0.01x | |
| 0.01 |
| = |
| 27 |
| 0.01 |
x = 2700
Final Answer
x = 2700
