| 16 | x | = | 43 | ( | 150 | − | x | ) | × | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 86 | ( | 150 | − | x | ) |
| 16 | x | = | 86 | ( | 150 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 86 | × | 150 | − | 86 | x |
| = | 12900 | − | 86 | x |
| 16 | x | = | 12900 | − | 86 | x |
| 16 | x | + | 86 | x | = | 12900 |
| 102 | x | = | 12900 |
| x | = | 12900 | ÷ | 102 |
| = | 12900 | × | 1 102 |
| = | 2150 | × | 1 17 |
| x | = | 2150 17 |
| x | = | 126.470588 |
