| ( | 240 | ( | 1 | + | 15 100 | ) | ) | + | ( | 8 100 | x | ) | = | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 240 | ( | 1 | + | 15 100 | ) | + | ( | 8 100 | x | ) |
| = | 240 | × | 1 | + | 240 | × | 15 100 | + | ( | 8 100 | x | ) |
| = | 240 | + | 36 | + | ( | 8 100 | x | ) |
| = | 276 | + | ( | 8 100 | x | ) |
| = | 276 | + | 8 100 | x |
| 276 | + | 8 100 | x | = | x |
8 100 | x | − | x | = | - | 276 |
| - | 23 25 | x | = | - | 276 |
| 276 | = | 23 25 | x |
23 25 | x | = | 276 |
| x | = | 276 | ÷ | 23 25 |
| = | 276 | × | 25 23 |
| = | 12 | × | 25 |
| x | = | 300 |
