| ( | 600 | x | − | 15000 | − | 34000 | ) | ÷ | ( | 15000 | + | 34000 | ) | = | 1 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 15000 | + | 34000 | ) |
| ( | 600 | x | − | 15000 | − | 34000 | ) | = | 1 5 | ( | 15000 | + | 34000 | ) |
| 600 | x | − | 15000 | − | 34000 | = | 1 5 | ( | 15000 | + | 34000 | ) |
| 600 | x | − | 15000 | − | 34000 | = | 1 5 | × | 15000 | + | 1 5 | × | 34000 |
| 600 | x | − | 15000 | − | 34000 | = | 3000 | + | 6800 |
| 600 | x | − | 49000 | = | 9800 |
| 600 | x | = | 9800 | + | 49000 |
| 600 | x | = | 58800 |
| x | = | 58800 | ÷ | 600 |
| = | 58800 | × | 1 600 |
| = | 98 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 98 |
