| ( | x | − | 270 | ) | ÷ | 3800 | = | ( | x | − | 495 | ) | ÷ | 2800 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 3800 | − | 270 | × | 1 3800 |
| = | x | × | 1 3800 | − | 27 380 |
1 3800 | x | − | 27 380 | = | ( | x | − | 495 | ) | ÷ | 2800 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 1 2800 | − | 495 | × | 1 2800 |
| = | x | × | 1 2800 | − | 99 560 |
1 3800 | x | − | 27 380 | = | 1 2800 | x | − | 99 560 |
1 3800 | x | − | 1 2800 | x | = | - | 99 560 | + | 27 380 |
| - | 1 10640 | x | = | - | 99 560 | + | 27 380 |
| - | 1 10640 | x | = | - | 225 2128 |
225 2128 | = | 1 10640 | x |
1 10640 | x | = | 225 2128 |
| x | = | 225 2128 | ÷ | 1 10640 |
| = | 225 2128 | × | 10640 |
| = | 225 | × | 5 |
