| 1800 | ÷ | 7 | × | x | = | 2280 | ÷ | 7 | × | x | − | ( | 30 | × | 4 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 1800 7 | x |
1800 7 | x | = | 2280 | ÷ | 7 | × | x | − | ( | 30 | × | 4 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2280 7 | x | − | ( | 30 | × | 4 | ) |
1800 7 | x | = | 2280 7 | x | − | ( | 30 | × | 4 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2280 7 | x | − | 30 | × | 4 |
| = | 2280 7 | x | − | 120 |
1800 7 | x | = | 2280 7 | x | − | 120 |
1800 7 | x | − | 2280 7 | x | = | - | 120 |
| - | 480 7 | x | = | - | 120 |
| 120 | = | 480 7 | x |
480 7 | x | = | 120 |
| x | = | 120 | ÷ | 480 7 |
| = | 120 | × | 7 480 |
| = | 1 | × | 7 4 |
| x | = | 7 4 |
