| ( | 1000 | − | x | ) | × | 6 | = | ( | 800 | − | x | ) | × | 8 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1000 | × | 6 | − | x | × | 6 |
| = | 6000 | − | x | × | 6 |
| 6000 | − | 6 | x | = | ( | 800 | − | x | ) | × | 8 |
| Right side of the equation = | 800 | × | 8 | − | x | × | 8 |
| = | 6400 | − | x | × | 8 |
| 6000 | − | 6 | x | = | 6400 | − | 8 | x |
| - | 6 | x | + | 8 | x | = | 6400 | − | 6000 |
| 2 | x | = | 6400 | − | 6000 |
| 2 | x | = | 400 |
| x | = | 400 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 400 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 200 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 200 |
