| ( | Y | × | 15 | ) | ÷ | ( | ( | Y | × | 15 | ) | − | ( | 1500 | + | 2700 | ) | ) | = | 5 4 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | ( | Y | × | 15 | ) | − | ( | 1500 | + | 2700 | ) | ) |
| ( | Y | × | 15 | ) | = | 5 4 | ( | ( | Y | × | 15 | ) | − | ( | 1500 | + | 2700 | ) | ) |
| Y | × | 15 | = | 5 4 | ( | ( | Y | × | 15 | ) | − | ( | 1500 | + | 2700 | ) | ) |
| Y | × | 15 | = | 5 4 | ( | Y | × | 15 | ) | − | 5 4 | ( | 1500 | + | 2700 | ) |
| 15 | Y | = | 5 4 | Y | × | 15 | − | 5 4 | ( | 1500 | + | 2700 | ) |
| 15 | Y | = | 75 4 | Y | − | 5 4 | ( | 1500 | + | 2700 | ) |
| 15 | Y | = | 75 4 | Y | − | 5 4 | × | 1500 | − | 5 4 | × | 2700 |
| 15 | Y | = | 75 4 | Y | − | 1875 | − | 3375 |
| 15 | Y | = | 75 4 | Y | − | 5250 |
| 15 | Y | − | 75 4 | Y | = | - | 5250 |
| - | 15 4 | Y | = | - | 5250 |
| 5250 | = | 15 4 | Y |
15 4 | Y | = | 5250 |
| Y | = | 5250 | ÷ | 15 4 |
| = | 5250 | × | 4 15 |
| = | 350 | × | 4 |
| Y | = | 1400 |
