| ( | 150 | ÷ | x | ) | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | = | ( | 150 | − | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 6 5 | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 6 5 | x | ) |
| ( | 150 | ÷ | x | ) | ( | 6 5 | x | ) | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ( | 6 5 | x | ) | = | ( | 150 | − | x | ) |
| 150 | ÷ | x | × | ( | 6 5 | x | ) | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ( | 6 5 | x | ) | = | ( | 150 | − | x | ) |
| 150 | ÷ | x | × | ( | 6 5 | x | ) | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ( | 6 5 | x | ) | = | 150 | − | x |
| 150 | ÷ | 1 | × | 6 5 | × | 1 | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ( | 6 5 | x | ) | = | 150 | − | x |
| 180 | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ( | 6 5 | x | ) | = | 150 | − | x |
| 180 | + | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 6 5 | x | ) | = | 150 | − | x |
| 180 | + | 1 3 | ( | 6 5 | x | ) | = | 150 | − | x |
| 180 | + | 1 3 | × | 6 5 | x | = | 150 | − | x |
| 180 | + | 2 5 | x | = | 150 | − | x |
2 5 | x | + | x | = | 150 | − | 180 |
7 5 | x | = | 150 | − | 180 |
7 5 | x | = | - | 30 |
| x | = | - | 30 | ÷ | 7 5 |
| = | - | 30 | × | 5 7 |
