| 25 | x | + | 40 | ( | 1000 | − | x | ) | = | 34000 |
| Left side of the equation = | 25 | x | + | 40 | × | 1000 | − | 40 | x |
| = | 25 | x | + | 40000 | − | 40 | x |
| = | - | 15 | x | + | 40000 |
| - | 15 | x | + | 40000 | = | 34000 |
| - | 15 | x | = | 34000 | − | 40000 |
| - | 15 | x | = | - | 6000 |
| 6000 | = | 15 | x |
| 15 | x | = | 6000 |
| x | = | 6000 | ÷ | 15 |
| = | 6000 | × | 1 15 |
| = | 400 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 400 |
