| 15000 | ÷ | ( | a | − | 1600 | ) | × | ( | a | − | 760 | ) | = | 28000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | a | − | 1600 | ) |
| 15000 | ( | a | − | 760 | ) | = | 28000 | ( | a | − | 1600 | ) |
| 15000 | a | − | 15000 | × | 760 | = | 28000 | ( | a | − | 1600 | ) |
| 15000 | a | − | 15000 | × | 760 | = | 28000 | a | − | 28000 | × | 1600 |
| 15000 | a | − | 11400000 | = | 28000 | a | − | 44800000 |
| 15000 | a | − | 28000 | a | = | - | 44800000 | + | 11400000 |
| - | 13000 | a | = | - | 44800000 | + | 11400000 |
| - | 13000 | a | = | - | 33400000 |
| 33400000 | = | 13000 | a |
| 13000 | a | = | 33400000 |
| a | = | 33400000 | ÷ | 13000 |
| = | 33400000 | × | 1 13000 |
| = | 33400 | × | 1 13 |
| a | = | 33400 13 |
| a | = | 2569.230769 |
