| ( | x | + | 180 | ) | ÷ | 250 | = | ( | x | − | 220 | ) | ÷ | 200 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 250 | + | 180 | × | 1 250 |
| = | x | × | 1 250 | + | 18 25 |
1 250 | x | + | 18 25 | = | ( | x | − | 220 | ) | ÷ | 200 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 1 200 | − | 220 | × | 1 200 |
| = | x | × | 1 200 | − | 11 10 |
1 250 | x | + | 18 25 | = | 1 200 | x | − | 11 10 |
1 250 | x | − | 1 200 | x | = | - | 11 10 | − | 18 25 |
| - | 1 1000 | x | = | - | 11 10 | − | 18 25 |
| - | 1 1000 | x | = | - | 91 50 |
91 50 | = | 1 1000 | x |
1 1000 | x | = | 91 50 |
| x | = | 91 50 | ÷ | 1 1000 |
| = | 91 50 | × | 1000 |
