| ( | 4 5 | x | − | 64 | ) | ÷ | 1600 | = | ( | 4 5 | x | − | 256 | ) | ÷ | 1200 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 5 | x | × | 1 1600 | − | 64 | × | 1 1600 |
| = | 1 2000 | x | − | 1 25 |
1 2000 | x | − | 1 25 | = | ( | 4 5 | x | − | 256 | ) | ÷ | 1200 |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 5 | x | × | 1 1200 | − | 256 | × | 1 1200 |
| = | 1 1500 | x | − | 16 75 |
1 2000 | x | − | 1 25 | = | 1 1500 | x | − | 16 75 |
1 2000 | x | − | 1 1500 | x | = | - | 16 75 | + | 1 25 |
| - | 1 6000 | x | = | - | 16 75 | + | 1 25 |
| - | 1 6000 | x | = | - | 13 75 |
13 75 | = | 1 6000 | x |
1 6000 | x | = | 13 75 |
| x | = | 13 75 | ÷ | 1 6000 |
| = | 13 75 | × | 6000 |
| = | 13 | × | 80 |
| x | = | 1040 |
