| ( | 80 | − | x | ) | × | 6 | = | ( | 60 | − | x | ) | × | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 80 | × | 6 | − | x | × | 6 |
| = | 480 | − | x | × | 6 |
| 480 | − | 6 | x | = | ( | 60 | − | x | ) | × | 10 |
| Right side of the equation = | 60 | × | 10 | − | x | × | 10 |
| = | 600 | − | x | × | 10 |
| 480 | − | 6 | x | = | 600 | − | 10 | x |
| - | 6 | x | + | 10 | x | = | 600 | − | 480 |
| 4 | x | = | 600 | − | 480 |
| 4 | x | = | 120 |
| x | = | 120 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 120 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 30 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 30 |
