Question

$$\frac{12x}{100}+\frac{56000-x}{10}=6400$$

Solve for x

$x=40000$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $100$, the least common multiple of $100,10$.

$$12x+10\left(56000-x\right)=640000$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $10$ by $56000-x$.

$$12x+560000-10x=640000$$

Combine $12x$ and $-10x$ to get $2x$.

$$2x+560000=640000$$

Subtract $560000$ from both sides.

$$2x=640000-560000$$

Subtract $560000$ from $640000$ to get $80000$.

$$2x=80000$$

Divide both sides by $2$.

$$x=\frac{80000}{2}$$

Divide $80000$ by $2$ to get $40000$.

$$x=40000$$
