You asked:

Solve the equation \(\frac{\left(15 - x\right) \cdot 3}{1000} + \frac{\left(1 - x\right) \cdot 5}{1000} = \frac{x}{500}\) for the variable \(x\).

MathBot Answer:

The solution is: \[x = 5\]


\[\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{20} - \frac{x}{125} &= \frac{x}{500}\\- \frac{x}{100} &= - \frac{1}{20}\\x &= 5\end{aligned}\]
