Answer
The solution of this equation is x = 2200.
Work Step by Step
0.09x = 550 - 0.11(5400 - x)
Use the distributive property to obtain:
0.09x = 550 - 594 + 0.11x
In order to solve for x, we first need to get all of the terms with an x in them on the same side of the equation:
Thus, we obtain:
0.09x - 0.11x = 550 - 594
-0.02x = -44
Divide both sides by -0.02
x = 2200
The solution of this equation is x = 2200.
