| 2000 | ÷ | 25 | × | x | = | 3200 | ÷ | 50 | × | ( | 30 | − | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 80 | x |
| 80 | x | = | 3200 | ÷ | 50 | × | ( | 30 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 64 | ( | 30 | − | x | ) |
| 80 | x | = | 64 | ( | 30 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 64 | × | 30 | − | 64 | x |
| = | 1920 | − | 64 | x |
| 80 | x | = | 1920 | − | 64 | x |
| 80 | x | + | 64 | x | = | 1920 |
| 144 | x | = | 1920 |
| x | = | 1920 | ÷ | 144 |
| = | 1920 | × | 1 144 |
| = | 40 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 40 3 |
| x | = | 13.333333 |
