3 4 | ( | 300000 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | − | 500000 | ) | ÷ | ( | 300000 | x | ) | = | 1 8 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 300000 | x | ) |
3 4 | ( | 300000 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | − | 500000 | ) | = | 1 8 | ( | 300000 | x | ) |
3 4 | × | 300000 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | − | 3 4 | × | 500000 | = | 1 8 | ( | 300000 | x | ) |
3 4 | × | 300000 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | − | 3 4 | × | 500000 | = | 1 8 | × | 300000 | x |
| 225000 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | − | 375000 | = | 37500 | x |
| 225000 | x | − | 225000 | × | 10 | − | 375000 | = | 37500 | x |
| 225000 | x | − | 2250000 | − | 375000 | = | 37500 | x |
| 225000 | x | − | 2625000 | = | 37500 | x |
| 225000 | x | − | 37500 | x | = | 2625000 |
| 187500 | x | = | 2625000 |
| x | = | 2625000 | ÷ | 187500 |
| = | 2625000 | × | 1 187500 |
| = | 14 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 14 |
