| ( | 90 | − | x | ) | + | ( | 180 | − | x | ) | = | 180 | × | 3 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 90 | − | x | + | ( | 180 | − | x | ) |
| = | 90 | − | x | + | 180 | − | x |
| = | 270 | − | 2 | x |
| 270 | − | 2 | x | = | 180 | × | 3 | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 270 |
| 270 | − | 2 | x | = | 270 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 270 | − | 270 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 0 |
| - | 0 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | - | 0 |
| x | = | - | 0 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | - | 0 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 0 |
