| ( | x | − | 120 | ( | 240 | − | x | ) | ) | = | 3200 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | 120 | ( | 240 | − | x | ) |
| = | x | − | 120 | × | 240 | + | 120 | x |
| = | x | − | 28800 | + | 120 | x |
| = | 121 | x | − | 28800 |
| 121 | x | − | 28800 | = | 3200 |
| 121 | x | = | 3200 | + | 28800 |
| 121 | x | = | 32000 |
| x | = | 32000 | ÷ | 121 |
| = | 32000 | × | 1 121 |
| x | = | 32000 121 |
| x | = | 264.46281 |
