| 150 | x | − | 5 100 | × | 150 | x | − | ( | 400 | + | 130 | x | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 150 | x | − | 15 2 | x | − | ( | 400 | + | 130 | x | ) |
| = | 285 2 | x | − | ( | 400 | + | 130 | x | ) |
285 2 | x | − | ( | 400 | + | 130 | x | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 285 2 | x | − | 400 | − | 130 | x |
| = | 25 2 | x | − | 400 |
25 2 | x | − | 400 | = | 0 |
25 2 | x | = | 0 | + | 400 |
25 2 | x | = | 400 |
| x | = | 400 | ÷ | 25 2 |
| = | 400 | × | 2 25 |
| = | 16 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 32 |
