| ( | x | ÷ | 5 | + | 50 | ) | ( | 125 | − | x | ) | = | 5980 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 125 | − | x | ) | + | 50 | ( | 125 | − | x | ) |
| = | x | × | 1 5 | × | 125 | − | x | × | 1 5 | x | + | 50 | ( | 125 | − | x | ) |
| = | x | × | 25 | − | x | × | 1 5 | x | + | 50 | ( | 125 | − | x | ) |
| = | 25 | x | − | x | × | 1 5 | x | + | 50 | × | 125 | − | 50 | x |
| = | 25 | x | − | x | × | 1 5 | x | + | 6250 | − | 50 | x |
| = | - | 25 | x | − | x | × | 1 5 | x | + | 6250 |
| - | 25 | x | − | x | × | 1 5 | x | + | 6250 | = | 5980 |
