18000 | ÷ | x | = | 12600 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 120 | ) |
Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x | , | ( | x | − | 120 | ) |
18000 | ( | x | − | 120 | ) | = | 12600 | x |
18000 | x | − | 18000 | × | 120 | = | 12600 | x |
18000 | x | − | 2160000 | = | 12600 | x |
18000 | x | − | 12600 | x | = | 2160000 |
5400 | x | = | 2160000 |
x | = | 2160000 | ÷ | 5400 |
= | 2160000 | × | 1 5400 |
= | 400 | × | 1 |
x | = | 400 |
