| ( | ( | 1 | − | 3 10 | ) | x | + | 1600 | ) | ÷ | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | ( | 1 | − | 3 10 | ) | x | + | 1600 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
| ( | 1 | − | 3 10 | ) | x | + | 1600 | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
| ( | 1 | − | 3 10 | ) | x | + | 1600 | = | 3 4 | x |
| 1 | x | − | 3 10 | x | + | 1600 | = | 3 4 | x |
7 10 | x | + | 1600 | = | 3 4 | x |
7 10 | x | − | 3 4 | x | = | - | 1600 |
| - | 1 20 | x | = | - | 1600 |
| 1600 | = | 1 20 | x |
1 20 | x | = | 1600 |
| x | = | 1600 | ÷ | 1 20 |
| = | 1600 | × | 20 |
| x | = | 32000 |
