Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): ".15" was replaced by "(15/100)".

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                50000-(x-(x*(15/100)))=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

             3
 Simplify   ——
            20

Equation at the end of step  1  :

                       3
  50000 -  (x -  (x • ——))  = 0 
                      20

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  20  as the denominator :

          x     x • 20
     x =  —  =  ——————
          1       20  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 x • 20 - (3x)     17x
 —————————————  =  ———
      20           20 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

           17x
  50000 -  ———  = 0 
           20 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  20  as the denominator :

              50000     50000 • 20
     50000 =  —————  =  ——————————
                1           20    

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

 50000 • 20 - (17x)     1000000 - 17x
 ——————————————————  =  —————————————
         20                  20      

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  1000000 - 17x
  —————————————  = 0 
       20      

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

 4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

  1000000-17x
  ——————————— • 20 = 0 • 20
      20     

Now, on the left hand side, the  20  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   1000000-17x  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    -17x+1000000 = 0 

 Subtract  1000000  from both sides of the equation : 
                      -17x = -1000000
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  17x = 1000000


Divide both sides of the equation by 17:
                     x = 1000000/17 = 58823.529
