| 2 | × | 6 | y | = | 150 | ( | 45 | − | y | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 12 | y |
| 12 | y | = | 150 | ( | 45 | − | y | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 150 | × | 45 | − | 150 | y |
| = | 6750 | − | 150 | y |
| 12 | y | = | 6750 | − | 150 | y |
| 12 | y | + | 150 | y | = | 6750 |
| 162 | y | = | 6750 |
| y | = | 6750 | ÷ | 162 |
| = | 6750 | × | 1 162 |
| = | 125 | × | 1 3 |
| y | = | 125 3 |
| y | = | 41.666667 |
