| 10000 | ÷ | 158 | + | 15000 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 101 | × | 4 25 | ) | = | 150 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 101 | × | 4 25 | ) |
| 10000 | ÷ | 158 | × | ( | x | + | 101 | × | 4 25 | ) | + | 15000 | = | 150 | ( | x | + | 101 | × | 4 25 | ) |
| 10000 | ÷ | 158 | × | x | + | 10000 | ÷ | 158 | × | 101 | × | 4 25 | + | 15000 | = | 150 | ( | x | + | 101 | × | 4 25 | ) |
| 10000 | ÷ | 158 | × | x | + | 10000 | ÷ | 158 | × | 101 | × | 4 25 | + | 15000 | = | 150 | x | + | 150 | × | 101 | × | 4 25 |
5000 79 | x | + | 80800 79 | + | 15000 | = | 150 | x | + | 2424 |
5000 79 | x | + | 1265800 79 | = | 150 | x | + | 2424 |
5000 79 | x | − | 150 | x | = | 2424 | − | 1265800 79 |
| - | 6850 79 | x | = | 2424 | − | 1265800 79 |
| - | 6850 79 | x | = | - | 1074304 79 |
1074304 79 | = | 6850 79 | x |
6850 79 | x | = | 1074304 79 |
| x | = | 1074304 79 | ÷ | 6850 79 |
| = | 1074304 79 | × | 79 6850 |
| = | 537152 | × | 1 3425 |
| x | = | 537152 3425 |
| x | = | 156.832701 |
