3 100 | x | + | 9 50 | ( | 15 | − | x | ) | = | 15 | × | 2 25 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 100 | x | + | 9 50 | × | 15 | − | 9 50 | x |
| = | 3 100 | x | + | 27 10 | − | 9 50 | x |
| = | - | 3 20 | x | + | 27 10 |
| - | 3 20 | x | + | 27 10 | = | 15 | × | 2 25 |
| Right side of the equation = | 6 5 |
| - | 3 20 | x | + | 27 10 | = | 6 5 |
| - | 3 20 | x | = | 6 5 | − | 27 10 |
| - | 3 20 | x | = | - | 3 2 |
3 2 | = | 3 20 | x |
3 20 | x | = | 3 2 |
| x | = | 3 2 | ÷ | 3 20 |
| = | 3 2 | × | 20 3 |
| = | 1 | × | 10 |
| x | = | 10 |
