( | 800 | + | 1200 | ) | x | + | ( | 300 | + | 100 | ) | x | × | 3 | = | 24000 |
Left side of the equation = | 800 | x | + | 1200 | x | + | ( | 300 | + | 100 | ) | x | × | 3 |
= | 2000 | x | + | ( | 300 | + | 100 | ) | x | × | 3 |
= | 2000 | x | + | 300 | x | × | 3 | + | 100 | x | × | 3 |
= | 2000 | x | + | 900 | x | + | 300 | x |
= | 3200 | x |
3200 | x | = | 24000 |
x | = | 24000 | ÷ | 3200 |
= | 24000 | × | 1 3200 |
= | 15 | × | 1 2 |
x | = | 15 2 |
x | = | 7.5 |
