color(purple)(x = 24x=24

Explanation:

34000 - (4000/3)x = 200034000(40003)x=2000

(4000/3)x = 34000 - 2000 = 32000(40003)x=340002000=32000

4000x = 3 * 32000 = 960004000x=332000=96000

x = cancel(96000)^color(red)(24)/ cancel4000 = 24

x=24

Explanation:

"subtract "34000" from both sides"

-4000/3 x=2000-34000=-32000

"multiply both sides by 3"

-4000x=-96000

"divide both sides by "-4000

x=(-96000)/(-4000)=24

x=24

Explanation:

34000-4000/(3)x=2000

:."multiply both sides by "3

:.102000-4000 x=6000

:.-4000x=6000-102000

:.-x=cancel(-96000)^-24/cancel4000^1

:.-x=-24

:."multiply both sides by "-1

:.x=24

~~~~~~~~~~~

:."substitute" x=24

:.34000-4000/cancel 3^1 xx cancel 24^8/1=2000

:.34000-32000=2000

:.2000=2000
