Answer:

2000 = 600 + 2/5x ; 3500 ft

How To Solve:

2000 = 600 + 2/5x

Combine multiplied terms into a single fraction

2000 = 600 + 2/5x

2000 = 600 + 2x/5

Subtract 600 from both sides of the equation

2000 = 600 + 2x/5

2000 - 600 = 600 + 2x/5 - 600

Simplify

Subtract the numbers

1400 = 600 + 2x/5 − 600

Subtract the numbers

1400 = 2x/5

Solution

X = 3500
