( | 180 | − | x | ) | ( | 1 | − | 1 5 | ) | + | x | = | 150 |
Left side of the equation = | 180 | ( | 1 | − | 1 5 | ) | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 1 5 | ) | + | x |
= | 180 | × | 1 | − | 180 | × | 1 5 | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 1 5 | ) | + | x |
= | 180 | − | 36 | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 1 5 | ) | + | x |
= | 144 | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 1 5 | ) | + | x |
= | 144 | − | x | × | 1 | + | x | × | 1 5 | + | x |
= | 144 | + | 1 5 | x |
144 | + | 1 5 | x | = | 150 |
1 5 | x | = | 150 | − | 144 |
1 5 | x | = | 6 |
x | = | 6 | ÷ | 1 5 |
= | 6 | × | 5 |
x | = | 30 |
