| ( | 4 | x | + | 30 | ) | ÷ | 2 | − | 2 | = | ( | 45 | − | 100 | x | ) | ÷ | 30 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 | x | × | 1 2 | + | 30 | × | 1 2 | − | 2 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 15 | − | 2 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 13 |
| 2 | x | + | 13 | = | ( | 45 | − | 100 | x | ) | ÷ | 30 |
| Right side of the equation = | 45 | × | 1 30 | − | 100 | x | × | 1 30 |
| = | 3 2 | − | 10 3 | x |
| 2 | x | + | 13 | = | 3 2 | − | 10 3 | x |
| 2 | x | + | 10 3 | x | = | 3 2 | − | 13 |
16 3 | x | = | 3 2 | − | 13 |
16 3 | x | = | - | 23 2 |
| x | = | - | 23 2 | ÷ | 16 3 |
| = | - | 23 2 | × | 3 16 |
| x | = | - | 69 32 |
| x | = | - 2.15625 |
