3 5 | x | + | ( | 100 | − | x | ) | × | 3 5 | × | 80 100 | = | 288 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 5 | x | + | ( | 100 | − | x | ) | × | 12 25 |
3 5 | x | + | ( | 100 | − | x | ) | × | 12 25 | = | 288 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 5 | x | + | 100 | × | 12 25 | − | x | × | 12 25 |
| = | 3 5 | x | + | 48 | − | x | × | 12 25 |
| = | 3 25 | x | + | 48 |
3 25 | x | + | 48 | = | 288 5 |
3 25 | x | = | 288 5 | − | 48 |
3 25 | x | = | 48 5 |
| x | = | 48 5 | ÷ | 3 25 |
| = | 48 5 | × | 25 3 |
| = | 16 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 80 |
