| 1 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 30 | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | − | 30 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 5 | x | + | 30 |
1 5 | x | + | 30 | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | − | 30 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 5 | ( | x | − | 30 | ) |
1 5 | x | + | 30 | = | 3 5 | ( | x | − | 30 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 5 | x | − | 3 5 | × | 30 |
| = | 3 5 | x | − | 18 |
1 5 | x | + | 30 | = | 3 5 | x | − | 18 |
1 5 | x | − | 3 5 | x | = | - | 18 | − | 30 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | - | 18 | − | 30 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | - | 48 |
| 48 | = | 2 5 | x |
2 5 | x | = | 48 |
| x | = | 48 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 48 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 24 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 120 |
