Chapter 10.2, Problem 29CCR

To determine

To calculate:The solutionof the given equation.

Answer to Problem 29CCR

The solution of the given equation is $x=0.416$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:The given equation is $-200\left(1-3x\right)=50$ .

Calculation:

The equation is $-200\left(1-3x\right)=50$ …… (1)

The solution of equation (1) is

  $\begin{array}{l}-200\left(1-3x\right)=50\\ -200+600x=50\\ 600x=200+50\\ 600x=250\\ x=\frac{250}{600}\\ x=\frac{5}{12}\\ x=0.416\end{array}$

Hence the solution of the given equationis $x=0.416$ .
