#x = 1101.25#

Explanation:

#(x-950)/125 = 0.49#

First, multiply both sides by #color(blue)125#:

#(x-950)/125 quadcolor(blue)(xx 125) = 0.49 quadcolor(blue)(xx 125#

#x - 950 = 61.25#

Now add #color(blue)950# to both sides of the equation:

#x - 950 quadcolor(blue)(+quad950) = 61.25 quadcolor(blue)(+quad950)#:

So the final answer is:
#x = 1101.25#

Hope this helps!
