| ( | 3 40 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 37 500 | = | 251 10 | ÷ | 351 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 40 | × | 500 37 | − | x | × | 500 37 |
| = | 75 74 | − | x | × | 500 37 |
75 74 | − | 500 37 | x | = | 251 10 | ÷ | 351 10 |
| Right side of the equation = | 251 351 |
75 74 | − | 500 37 | x | = | 251 351 |
| - | 500 37 | x | = | 251 351 | − | 75 74 |
| - | 500 37 | x | = | - | 7751 25974 |
7751 25974 | = | 500 37 | x |
500 37 | x | = | 7751 25974 |
| x | = | 7751 25974 | ÷ | 500 37 |
| = | 7751 25974 | × | 37 500 |
