| 3000 | ÷ | x | × | 7 5 | × | 150 | + | 3000 | ÷ | x | × | 4 5 | ( | x | − | 150 | ) | = | 750 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 3000 | × | 7 5 | × | 150 | + | 3000 | ÷ | 1 | × | 4 5 | ( | x | − | 150 | ) | × | 1 | = | 750 | x |
| 3000 | × | 7 5 | × | 150 | + | 3000 | ÷ | 1 | × | 4 5 | x | × | 1 | − | 3000 | ÷ | 1 | × | 4 5 | × | 150 | = | 750 | x |
| 630000 | + | 2400 | x | − | 360000 | = | 750 | x |
| 270000 | + | 2400 | x | = | 750 | x |
| 2400 | x | − | 750 | x | = | - | 270000 |
| 1650 | x | = | - | 270000 |
| x | = | - | 270000 | ÷ | 1650 |
| = | - | 270000 | × | 1 1650 |
| = | - | 1800 | × | 1 11 |
| x | = | - | 1800 11 |
| x | = | - 163.636364 |
