3 10 | x | + | 1 50 | ( | 100 | − | 10 | x | ) | = | 3 125 | × | 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 10 | x | + | 1 50 | × | 100 | − | 1 50 | × | 10 | x |
| = | 3 10 | x | + | 2 | − | 1 5 | x |
| = | 1 10 | x | + | 2 |
1 10 | x | + | 2 | = | 3 125 | × | 100 |
| Right side of the equation = | 12 5 |
1 10 | x | + | 2 | = | 12 5 |
1 10 | x | = | 12 5 | − | 2 |
1 10 | x | = | 2 5 |
| x | = | 2 5 | ÷ | 1 10 |
| = | 2 5 | × | 10 |
| = | 2 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 4 |
