| x | ÷ | 144 | − | 8 | ÷ | 277 | − | 10 | ÷ | 900 | − | 1 25 | = | 14 5 | ( | 80 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 4200 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 144 | − | 8 277 | − | 1 90 | − | 1 25 |
| = | 1 144 | x | − | 9971 124650 |
1 144 | x | − | 9971 124650 | = | 14 5 | ( | 80 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 4200 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 1500 | ( | 80 | + | x | ) |
1 144 | x | − | 9971 124650 | = | 1 1500 | ( | 80 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 1500 | × | 80 | + | 1 1500 | x |
| = | 4 75 | + | 1 1500 | x |
1 144 | x | − | 9971 124650 | = | 4 75 | + | 1 1500 | x |
