9 10 | × | 80 | x | = | 80 | ( | x | − | 600 | ) | × | 4 5 | + | 48000 |
| Left side of the equation = | 72 | x |
| 72 | x | = | 80 | ( | x | − | 600 | ) | × | 4 5 | + | 48000 |
| Right side of the equation = | 64 | ( | x | − | 600 | ) | + | 48000 |
| 72 | x | = | 64 | ( | x | − | 600 | ) | + | 48000 |
| Right side of the equation = | 64 | x | − | 64 | × | 600 | + | 48000 |
| = | 64 | x | − | 38400 | + | 48000 |
| = | 64 | x | + | 9600 |
| 72 | x | = | 64 | x | + | 9600 |
| 72 | x | − | 64 | x | = | 9600 |
| 8 | x | = | 9600 |
| x | = | 9600 | ÷ | 8 |
| = | 9600 | × | 1 8 |
| = | 1200 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 1200 |
