  x     X 250 +   25 X 68  = 67
100        1       100    1

 5x   +  17    =  67
 2          1

Multiply through by 2
 5x  X 2 +  17  X 2  =  67 X 2
 2              1

5x + 34 =134

Collection of like terms
5x = 134 - 34
5x = 100

Divide both sides by 5
 5x = 100
 5       5
x=20   Answer Very Happy
