| ( | 600 | × | 3 | + | 50 | n | ) | ÷ | ( | n | + | 3 | ) | = | 60 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | n | + | 3 | ) |
| ( | 600 | × | 3 | + | 50 | n | ) | = | 60 | ( | n | + | 3 | ) |
| 600 | × | 3 | + | 50 | n | = | 60 | ( | n | + | 3 | ) |
| 600 | × | 3 | + | 50 | n | = | 60 | n | + | 60 | × | 3 |
| 1800 | + | 50 | n | = | 60 | n | + | 180 |
| 50 | n | − | 60 | n | = | 180 | − | 1800 |
| - | 10 | n | = | 180 | − | 1800 |
| - | 10 | n | = | - | 1620 |
| 1620 | = | 10 | n |
| 10 | n | = | 1620 |
| n | = | 1620 | ÷ | 10 |
| = | 1620 | × | 1 10 |
| = | 162 | × | 1 |
| n | = | 162 |
