| 3000 | X | − | 5000 | ( | 1 | + | X | ) | × | 8 100 | × | 30 100 | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3000 | X | − | 120 | ( | 1 | + | X | ) |
| 3000 | X | − | 120 | ( | 1 | + | X | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3000 | X | − | 120 | × | 1 | − | 120 | X |
| = | 3000 | X | − | 120 | − | 120 | X |
| = | 2880 | X | − | 120 |
| 2880 | X | − | 120 | = | 0 |
| 2880 | X | = | 0 | + | 120 |
| 2880 | X | = | 120 |
| X | = | 120 | ÷ | 2880 |
| = | 120 | × | 1 2880 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 24 |
| X | = | 1 24 |
