| 30 | t | × | 3 | ÷ | 5 | = | 42 | ( | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | t | − | 30 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 18 | t |
| 18 | t | = | 42 | ( | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | t | − | 30 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 42 | × | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | t | − | 42 | × | 30 |
| = | 126 5 | t | − | 1260 |
| 18 | t | = | 126 5 | t | − | 1260 |
| 18 | t | − | 126 5 | t | = | - | 1260 |
| - | 36 5 | t | = | - | 1260 |
| 1260 | = | 36 5 | t |
36 5 | t | = | 1260 |
| t | = | 1260 | ÷ | 36 5 |
| = | 1260 | × | 5 36 |
| = | 35 | × | 5 |
| t | = | 175 |
