| 4 | x | × | 2 | − | x | × | 2 | = | ( | 600 | − | x | ) | × | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 8 | x | − | x | × | 2 |
| = | 6 | x |
| 6 | x | = | ( | 600 | − | x | ) | × | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 600 | × | 2 | − | x | × | 2 |
| = | 1200 | − | x | × | 2 |
| 6 | x | = | 1200 | − | 2 | x |
| 6 | x | + | 2 | x | = | 1200 |
| 8 | x | = | 1200 |
| x | = | 1200 | ÷ | 8 |
| = | 1200 | × | 1 8 |
| = | 150 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 150 |
