| 150 | = | x | × | 1600 | + | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | × | 25 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1600 | x | + | 1 | × | 25 | − | x | × | 25 |
| = | 1600 | x | + | 25 | − | x | × | 25 |
| = | 1575 | x | + | 25 |
| 150 | = | 1575 | x | + | 25 |
| - | 1575 | x | = | 25 | − | 150 |
| - | 1575 | x | = | - | 125 |
| 125 | = | 1575 | x |
| 1575 | x | = | 125 |
| x | = | 125 | ÷ | 1575 |
| = | 125 | × | 1 1575 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 63 |
| x | = | 5 63 |
| x | = | 0.079365 |
