| ( | 400 | − | x | ) | ( | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) | + | 10 | ) | = | 4600 |
| Left side of the equation = | 400 | ( | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) | + | 10 | ) | − | x | ( | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) | + | 10 | ) |
| = | 400 | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) | + | 400 | × | 10 | − | x | ( | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) | + | 10 | ) |
| = | 400 | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) | + | 4000 | − | x | ( | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) | + | 10 | ) |
| = | 400 | × | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | + | 4000 | − | x | ( | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) | + | 10 | ) |
| = | 48 | x | + | 4000 | − | x | ( | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) | + | 10 | ) |
| = | 48 | x | + | 4000 | − | x | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) | − | x | × | 10 |
| = | 38 | x | + | 4000 | − | x | ( | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 | ) |
| = | 38 | x | + | 4000 | − | x | × | 3 | x | ÷ | 25 |
| = | 38 | x | + | 4000 | − | x | × | 3 25 | x |
| 38 | x | + | 4000 | − | x | × | 3 25 | x | = | 4600 |
| x= | 50 3 |
