( | x | − | 500 | ) | ÷ | 2200 | = | ( | x | − | 400 | ) | ÷ | 1700 |
Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 2200 | − | 500 | × | 1 2200 |
= | x | × | 1 2200 | − | 5 22 |
1 2200 | x | − | 5 22 | = | ( | x | − | 400 | ) | ÷ | 1700 |
Right side of the equation = | x | × | 1 1700 | − | 400 | × | 1 1700 |
= | x | × | 1 1700 | − | 4 17 |
1 2200 | x | − | 5 22 | = | 1 1700 | x | − | 4 17 |
1 2200 | x | − | 1 1700 | x | = | - | 4 17 | + | 5 22 |
- | 1 7480 | x | = | - | 4 17 | + | 5 22 |
- | 1 7480 | x | = | - | 3 374 |
3 374 | = | 1 7480 | x |
1 7480 | x | = | 3 374 |
x | = | 3 374 | ÷ | 1 7480 |
= | 3 374 | × | 7480 |
= | 3 | × | 20 |
x | = | 60 |
