| 3000 | ( | x | − | 250 | ) | = | 3500 | ( | x | − | 370 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 3000 | x | − | 3000 | × | 250 |
| = | 3000 | x | − | 750000 |
| 3000 | x | − | 750000 | = | 3500 | ( | x | − | 370 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3500 | x | − | 3500 | × | 370 |
| = | 3500 | x | − | 1295000 |
| 3000 | x | − | 750000 | = | 3500 | x | − | 1295000 |
| 3000 | x | − | 3500 | x | = | - | 1295000 | + | 750000 |
| - | 500 | x | = | - | 1295000 | + | 750000 |
| - | 500 | x | = | - | 545000 |
| 545000 | = | 500 | x |
| 500 | x | = | 545000 |
| x | = | 545000 | ÷ | 500 |
| = | 545000 | × | 1 500 |
| = | 1090 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 1090 |
