| 100 | × | 22 | + | x | × | 41 | = | ( | 100 | + | x | ) | × | 25 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2200 | + | x | × | 41 |
| 2200 | + | 41 | x | = | ( | 100 | + | x | ) | × | 25 |
| Right side of the equation = | 100 | × | 25 | + | x | × | 25 |
| = | 2500 | + | x | × | 25 |
| 2200 | + | 41 | x | = | 2500 | + | 25 | x |
| 41 | x | − | 25 | x | = | 2500 | − | 2200 |
| 16 | x | = | 2500 | − | 2200 |
| 16 | x | = | 300 |
| x | = | 300 | ÷ | 16 |
| = | 300 | × | 1 16 |
| = | 75 | × | 1 4 |
| x | = | 75 4 |
| x | = | 18.75 |
