| 1 | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 30 | ) | x | = | ( | 1 | ÷ | 50 | ) | ( | x | + | 30 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 30 | × | x |
| = | 1 | − | 1 30 | x |
| 1 | − | 1 30 | x | = | ( | 1 | ÷ | 50 | ) | ( | x | + | 30 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | ÷ | 50 | × | ( | x | + | 30 | ) |
| = | 1 50 | ( | x | + | 30 | ) |
| = | 1 50 | x | + | 1 50 | × | 30 |
| = | 1 50 | x | + | 3 5 |
| 1 | − | 1 30 | x | = | 1 50 | x | + | 3 5 |
| - | 1 30 | x | − | 1 50 | x | = | 3 5 | − | 1 |
| - | 4 75 | x | = | 3 5 | − | 1 |
| - | 4 75 | x | = | - | 2 5 |
2 5 | = | 4 75 | x |
4 75 | x | = | 2 5 |
| x | = | 2 5 | ÷ | 4 75 |
| = | 2 5 | × | 75 4 |
| = | 1 | × | 15 2 |
| x | = | 15 2 |
| x | = | 7.5 |
