( | x | − | 500 | ) | ÷ | 100 | = | ( | x | − | 200 | ) | ÷ | 200 |
Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 100 | − | 500 | × | 1 100 |
= | x | × | 1 100 | − | 5 |
1 100 | x | − | 5 | = | ( | x | − | 200 | ) | ÷ | 200 |
Right side of the equation = | x | × | 1 200 | − | 200 | × | 1 200 |
= | x | × | 1 200 | − | 1 |
1 100 | x | − | 5 | = | 1 200 | x | − | 1 |
1 100 | x | − | 1 200 | x | = | - | 1 | + | 5 |
1 200 | x | = | - | 1 | + | 5 |
1 200 | x | = | 4 |
x | = | 4 | ÷ | 1 200 |
= | 4 | × | 200 |
x | = | 800 |
