| ( | ( | 3 | + | 1 5 | x | ) | ÷ | 1 5 | ) | − | ( | ( | 1 5 | + | 3 100 | x | ) | ÷ | 1 100 | ) | = | 3 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | 3 | + | 1 5 | x | ) | ÷ | 1 5 | − | ( | ( | 1 5 | + | 3 100 | x | ) | ÷ | 1 100 | ) |
| = | 3 | × | 5 | + | 1 5 | x | × | 5 | − | ( | ( | 1 5 | + | 3 100 | x | ) | ÷ | 1 100 | ) |
| = | 15 | + | 1 | x | − | ( | ( | 1 5 | + | 3 100 | x | ) | ÷ | 1 100 | ) |
| = | 15 | + | 1 | x | − | ( | 1 5 | + | 3 100 | x | ) | ÷ | 1 100 |
| = | 15 | + | 1 | x | − | 1 5 | × | 100 | − | 3 100 | x | × | 100 |
| = | 15 | + | 1 | x | − | 20 | − | 3 | x |
| = | - | 5 | − | 2 | x |
| - | 5 | − | 2 | x | = | 3 4 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 3 4 | + | 5 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 23 4 |
| - | 23 4 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | - | 23 4 |
| x | = | - | 23 4 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | - | 23 4 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | - | 23 8 |
| x | = | - 2.875 |
