| 10000 | ( | 9 5 | + | 21 5 | ) | = | 1250 | ( | 9 5 | + | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 10000 | × | 9 5 | + | 10000 | × | 21 5 |
| = | 18000 | + | 42000 |
| = | 60000 |
| 60000 | = | 1250 | ( | 9 5 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1250 | × | 9 5 | + | 1250 | x |
| = | 2250 | + | 1250 | x |
| 60000 | = | 2250 | + | 1250 | x |
| - | 1250 | x | = | 2250 | − | 60000 |
| - | 1250 | x | = | - | 57750 |
| 57750 | = | 1250 | x |
| 1250 | x | = | 57750 |
| x | = | 57750 | ÷ | 1250 |
| = | 57750 | × | 1 1250 |
| = | 231 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 231 5 |
| x | = | 46.2 |
