| 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | = | ( | x | − | 50 | ) | × | 2 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 3 | x |
1 3 | x | = | ( | x | − | 50 | ) | × | 2 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 2 5 | − | 50 | × | 2 5 |
| = | x | × | 2 5 | − | 20 |
1 3 | x | = | 2 5 | x | − | 20 |
1 3 | x | − | 2 5 | x | = | - | 20 |
| - | 1 15 | x | = | - | 20 |
| 20 | = | 1 15 | x |
1 15 | x | = | 20 |
| x | = | 20 | ÷ | 1 15 |
| = | 20 | × | 15 |
| x | = | 300 |
