| 3000 | ÷ | x | × | 7 5 | × | 150 | + | 3000 | ÷ | x | × | ( | x | − | 150 | ) | = | 750 | + | 3000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 3000 | × | 7 5 | × | 150 | + | 3000 | ÷ | 1 | × | ( | x | − | 150 | ) | × | 1 | = | 750 | x | + | 3000 | x |
| 3000 | × | 7 5 | × | 150 | + | 3000 | ÷ | 1 | × | x | × | 1 | − | 3000 | ÷ | 1 | × | 150 | × | 1 | = | 750 | x | + | 3000 | x |
| 630000 | + | 3000 | x | − | 450000 | = | 750 | x | + | 3000 | x |
| 180000 | + | 3000 | x | = | 3750 | x |
| 3000 | x | − | 3750 | x | = | - | 180000 |
| - | 750 | x | = | - | 180000 |
| 180000 | = | 750 | x |
| 750 | x | = | 180000 |
| x | = | 180000 | ÷ | 750 |
| = | 180000 | × | 1 750 |
| = | 240 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 240 |
