| ( | x | + | 5 | ) | ÷ | 50 | − | x | ÷ | 45 | = | 6 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 50 | + | 5 | × | 1 50 | − | 1 45 | x |
| = | x | × | 1 50 | + | 1 10 | − | 1 45 | x |
| = | - | 1 450 | x | + | 1 10 |
| - | 1 450 | x | + | 1 10 | = | 6 100 |
| - | 1 450 | x | = | 6 100 | − | 1 10 |
| - | 1 450 | x | = | - | 1 25 |
1 25 | = | 1 450 | x |
1 450 | x | = | 1 25 |
| x | = | 1 25 | ÷ | 1 450 |
| = | 1 25 | × | 450 |
| = | 1 | × | 18 |
| x | = | 18 |
