| 150 | × | 1 2 | x | ÷ | 3 | + | 140 | × | 1 2 | ( | 50 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 2 | = | 1510 |
| Left side of the equation = | 25 | x | + | 35 | ( | 50 | − | x | ) |
| 25 | x | + | 35 | ( | 50 | − | x | ) | = | 1510 |
| Left side of the equation = | 25 | x | + | 35 | × | 50 | − | 35 | x |
| = | 25 | x | + | 1750 | − | 35 | x |
| = | - | 10 | x | + | 1750 |
| - | 10 | x | + | 1750 | = | 1510 |
| - | 10 | x | = | 1510 | − | 1750 |
| - | 10 | x | = | - | 240 |
| 240 | = | 10 | x |
| 10 | x | = | 240 |
| x | = | 240 | ÷ | 10 |
