| 5 | ( | x | − | 30 | ) | = | ( | 150 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 18 25 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | x | − | 5 | × | 30 |
| = | 5 | x | − | 150 |
| 5 | x | − | 150 | = | ( | 150 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 18 25 |
| Right side of the equation = | 150 | × | 25 18 | − | x | × | 25 18 |
| = | 625 3 | − | x | × | 25 18 |
| 5 | x | − | 150 | = | 625 3 | − | 25 18 | x |
| 5 | x | + | 25 18 | x | = | 625 3 | + | 150 |
115 18 | x | = | 625 3 | + | 150 |
115 18 | x | = | 1075 3 |
| x | = | 1075 3 | ÷ | 115 18 |
| = | 1075 3 | × | 18 115 |
| = | 215 | × | 6 23 |
| x | = | 1290 23 |
| x | = | 56.086957 |
