23 5 | = | ( | x | × | 5 | + | 150 | × | 4 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | + | 150 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 150 | ) |
23 5 | ( | x | + | 150 | ) | = | ( | x | × | 5 | + | 150 | × | 4 | ) |
23 5 | x | + | 23 5 | × | 150 | = | ( | x | × | 5 | + | 150 | × | 4 | ) |
23 5 | x | + | 23 5 | × | 150 | = | x | × | 5 | + | 150 | × | 4 |
23 5 | x | + | 690 | = | x | × | 5 | + | 600 |
23 5 | x | − | 5 | x | = | 600 | − | 690 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | 600 | − | 690 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | - | 90 |
| 90 | = | 2 5 | x |
2 5 | x | = | 90 |
| x | = | 90 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 90 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 45 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 225 |
