| 6000 | ÷ | x | − | 6000 | ÷ | ( | 5 4 | x | ) | = | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 6000 | − | 6000 | ÷ | ( | 5 4 | × | 1 | ) | × | 1 | = | 3 | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 5 4 | × | 1 | ) |
| 6000 | ( | 5 4 | × | 1 | ) | − | 6000 | × | 1 | = | 3 | x | ( | 5 4 | × | 1 | ) |
| 6000 | × | 5 4 | × | 1 | − | 6000 | × | 1 | = | 3 | x | ( | 5 4 | × | 1 | ) |
| 6000 | × | 5 4 | × | 1 | − | 6000 | × | 1 | = | 3 | x | × | 5 4 | × | 1 |
| 7500 | − | 6000 | = | 15 4 | x |
| 1500 | = | 15 4 | x |
| - | 15 4 | x | = | - | 1500 |
| 1500 | = | 15 4 | x |
15 4 | x | = | 1500 |
| x | = | 1500 | ÷ | 15 4 |
| = | 1500 | × | 4 15 |
| = | 100 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 400 |
