| 1300 | ( | 12000 | − | x | ) | = | 2000 | ( | 10000 | − | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 1300 | × | 12000 | − | 1300 | x |
| = | 15600000 | − | 1300 | x |
| 15600000 | − | 1300 | x | = | 2000 | ( | 10000 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2000 | × | 10000 | − | 2000 | x |
| = | 20000000 | − | 2000 | x |
| 15600000 | − | 1300 | x | = | 20000000 | − | 2000 | x |
| - | 1300 | x | + | 2000 | x | = | 20000000 | − | 15600000 |
| 700 | x | = | 20000000 | − | 15600000 |
| 700 | x | = | 4400000 |
| x | = | 4400000 | ÷ | 700 |
| = | 4400000 | × | 1 700 |
| = | 44000 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 44000 7 |
| x | = | 6285.714286 |
