| 100 | x | × | 3 | × | 5 2 | = | 100 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | × | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 750 | x |
| 750 | x | = | 100 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | × | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 500 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| 750 | x | = | 500 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 500 | x | + | 500 | × | 2 |
| = | 500 | x | + | 1000 |
| 750 | x | = | 500 | x | + | 1000 |
| 750 | x | − | 500 | x | = | 1000 |
| 250 | x | = | 1000 |
| x | = | 1000 | ÷ | 250 |
| = | 1000 | × | 1 250 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 4 |
