| 500 | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | = | 600 | + | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 500 | x | + | 500 | × | 3 |
| = | 500 | x | + | 1500 |
| 500 | x | + | 1500 | = | 600 | + | ( | x | − | 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 600 | + | x | − | 2 |
| = | 598 | + | x |
| 500 | x | + | 1500 | = | 598 | + | x |
| 500 | x | − | x | = | 598 | − | 1500 |
| 499 | x | = | 598 | − | 1500 |
| 499 | x | = | - | 902 |
| x | = | - | 902 | ÷ | 499 |
| = | - | 902 | × | 1 499 |
| x | = | - | 902 499 |
| x | = | - 1.807615 |
