| 5 | ( | x | − | 30 | ) | = | ( | 150 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 6 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | x | − | 5 | × | 30 |
| = | 5 | x | − | 150 |
| 5 | x | − | 150 | = | ( | 150 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 6 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 150 | × | 5 6 | − | x | × | 5 6 |
| = | 125 | − | x | × | 5 6 |
| 5 | x | − | 150 | = | 125 | − | 5 6 | x |
| 5 | x | + | 5 6 | x | = | 125 | + | 150 |
35 6 | x | = | 125 | + | 150 |
35 6 | x | = | 275 |
| x | = | 275 | ÷ | 35 6 |
| = | 275 | × | 6 35 |
| = | 55 | × | 6 7 |
| x | = | 330 7 |
| x | = | 47.142857 |
