| x | ÷ | ( | 177 2 | − | x | ÷ | 2 | ) | = | 300 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 177 2 | − | x | ÷ | 2 | ) |
| x | = | 300 | ( | 177 2 | − | x | ÷ | 2 | ) |
| x | = | 300 | × | 177 2 | − | 300 | x | ÷ | 2 |
| x | = | 26550 | − | 150 | x |
| x | + | 150 | x | = | 26550 |
| 151 | x | = | 26550 |
| x | = | 26550 | ÷ | 151 |
| = | 26550 | × | 1 151 |
| x | = | 26550 151 |
| x | = | 175.827815 |
