| 150 | × | 50 100 | ÷ | 6 5 | + | 150 | × | 40 100 | ÷ | x | = | 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 150 | × | 50 100 | ÷ | 6 5 | × | x | + | 150 | × | 40 100 | = | 100 | x |
| 150 | × | 50 100 | ÷ | 6 5 | × | x | − | 100 | x | = | - | 150 | × | 40 100 |
125 2 | x | − | 100 | x | = | - | 150 | × | 40 100 |
125 2 | x | − | 100 | x | = | - | 60 |
| - | 75 2 | x | = | - | 60 |
| 60 | = | 75 2 | x |
75 2 | x | = | 60 |
| x | = | 60 | ÷ | 75 2 |
| = | 60 | × | 2 75 |
| = | 4 | × | 2 5 |
| x | = | 8 5 |
| x | = | 1.6 |
