| 150 | = | x | × | 800 | + | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | × | 25 |
| Right side of the equation = | 800 | x | + | 1 | × | 25 | − | x | × | 25 |
| = | 800 | x | + | 25 | − | x | × | 25 |
| = | 775 | x | + | 25 |
| 150 | = | 775 | x | + | 25 |
| - | 775 | x | = | 25 | − | 150 |
| - | 775 | x | = | - | 125 |
| 125 | = | 775 | x |
| 775 | x | = | 125 |
| x | = | 125 | ÷ | 775 |
| = | 125 | × | 1 775 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 31 |
| x | = | 5 31 |
| x | = | 0.16129 |
