1 10 | x | + | 3 10 | ( | 6000 | − | x | ) | = | 500 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 10 | x | + | 3 10 | × | 6000 | − | 3 10 | x |
| = | 1 10 | x | + | 1800 | − | 3 10 | x |
| = | - | 1 5 | x | + | 1800 |
| - | 1 5 | x | + | 1800 | = | 500 |
| - | 1 5 | x | = | 500 | − | 1800 |
| - | 1 5 | x | = | - | 1300 |
| 1300 | = | 1 5 | x |
1 5 | x | = | 1300 |
| x | = | 1300 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 1300 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 6500 |
