| 8000 | ( | X | − | 600 | ) | = | 7000 | ( | X | − | 850 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 8000 | X | − | 8000 | × | 600 |
| = | 8000 | X | − | 4800000 |
| 8000 | X | − | 4800000 | = | 7000 | ( | X | − | 850 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 7000 | X | − | 7000 | × | 850 |
| = | 7000 | X | − | 5950000 |
| 8000 | X | − | 4800000 | = | 7000 | X | − | 5950000 |
| 8000 | X | − | 7000 | X | = | - | 5950000 | + | 4800000 |
| 1000 | X | = | - | 5950000 | + | 4800000 |
| 1000 | X | = | - | 1150000 |
| X | = | - | 1150000 | ÷ | 1000 |
| = | - | 1150000 | × | 1 1000 |
| = | - | 1150 | × | 1 |
| X | = | - | 1150 |
