| ( | 80 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 80 | = | 2 | x | ÷ | 120 |
| Left side of the equation = | 80 | × | 1 80 | − | x | × | 1 80 |
| = | 1 | − | x | × | 1 80 |
| 1 | − | 1 80 | x | = | 2 | x | ÷ | 120 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 60 | x |
| 1 | − | 1 80 | x | = | 1 60 | x |
| - | 1 80 | x | − | 1 60 | x | = | - | 1 |
| - | 7 240 | x | = | - | 1 |
| 1 | = | 7 240 | x |
7 240 | x | = | 1 |
| x | = | 1 | ÷ | 7 240 |
| = | 1 | × | 240 7 |
| x | = | 240 7 |
| x | = | 34.285714 |
