| ( | 24 | − | x | ) | × | 1 10 | = | ( | 20 | − | x | ) | × | 9 50 |
| Left side of the equation = | 24 | × | 1 10 | − | x | × | 1 10 |
| = | 12 5 | − | x | × | 1 10 |
12 5 | − | 1 10 | x | = | ( | 20 | − | x | ) | × | 9 50 |
| Right side of the equation = | 20 | × | 9 50 | − | x | × | 9 50 |
| = | 18 5 | − | x | × | 9 50 |
12 5 | − | 1 10 | x | = | 18 5 | − | 9 50 | x |
| - | 1 10 | x | + | 9 50 | x | = | 18 5 | − | 12 5 |
2 25 | x | = | 18 5 | − | 12 5 |
2 25 | x | = | 6 5 |
| x | = | 6 5 | ÷ | 2 25 |
| = | 6 5 | × | 25 2 |
| = | 3 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 15 |
