To solve this equation, we need to simplify both sides and isolate the variable x.
Starting with the left side:
500 - (120 - x)
We can simplify the parentheses by subtracting x from 120:
500 - 120 + x
Then, we subtract 120 from 500:
380 + x
Now let's simplify the right side of the equation:
479 - 99
Subtracting 99 from 479, we get:
380
So the equation becomes:
380 + x = 380
To isolate x, we need to subtract 380 from both sides:
380 + x - 380 = 380 - 380
Simplifying both sides:
x = 0
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 0.
