Rearrange:

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

           (15/100)*x+(5/100)*(70000-x)-(6000)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

             1
 Simplify   ——
            20

Equation at the end of step  1  :

     15           1                    
  ((——— • x) +  (—— • (70000 - x))) -  6000  = 0 
    100          20                    

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

     15         (70000 - x)     
  ((——— • x) +  ———————————) -  6000  = 0 
    100             20          

Step  3  :

             3
 Simplify   ——
            20

Equation at the end of step  3  :

     3         (70000 - x)     
  ((—— • x) +  ———————————) -  6000  = 0 
    20             20          

Step  4  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 4.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 3x + (70000-x)     2x + 70000
 ——————————————  =  ——————————
       20               20    

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  (2x + 70000)    
  ———————————— -  6000  = 0 
       20         

Step  5  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 5.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

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

            6000     6000 • 20
    6000 =  ————  =  —————————
             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

Step  6  :

Pulling out like terms :

 6.1     Pull out like factors :

   2x + 70000  =   2 • (x + 35000) 

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 6.2       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+35000) - (6000 • 10)     x - 25000
 ———————————————————————  =  —————————
           10                   10    

Equation at the end of step  6  :

  x - 25000
  —————————  = 0 
     10    

Step  7  :

When a fraction equals zero :

 7.1    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:

  x-25000
  ——————— • 10 = 0 • 10
    10   

Now, on the left hand side, the  10  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   x-25000  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 7.2      Solve  :    x-25000 = 0 

 Add  25000  to both sides of the equation : 
                      x = 25000
