Answer:

[tex]x=131.25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]0.3x+0.65*175=0.5(x+175)[/tex]

[tex]0.3x+113.75=0.5x+87.5[/tex] (Simplify both sides of the equation by multiplying on the LHS and distributing on the RHS)

[tex]0.3x+113.75-0.5x=0.5x+87.5-0.5x[/tex] (Subtract [tex]0.5x[/tex] from both sides of the equation to get all [tex]x[/tex] terms to one side)

[tex]-0.2x+113.75=87.5[/tex] (Simplify)

[tex]-0.2x+113.75-113.75=87.5-113.75[/tex] (Subtract [tex]113.75[/tex] from both sides of the equation to isolate [tex]x[/tex])

[tex]-0.2x=-26.25[/tex] (Simplify)

[tex]\frac{-0.2x}{-0.2} =\frac{-26.25}{-0.2}[/tex] (Divide both sides of the equation by [tex]-0.2[/tex] to get rid of [tex]x[/tex]'s coefficient)

[tex]x=131.25[/tex] (Simplify)

Hope this helps!
