| ( | 400 | − | 150 | ) | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 25 100 | ) | = | 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 400 | − | 150 | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 25 100 | ) |
| = | 250 | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 25 100 | ) |
| = | 250 | − | x | × | 1 | + | x | × | 25 100 |
| = | 250 | − | 3 4 | x |
| 250 | − | 3 4 | x | = | 100 |
| - | 3 4 | x | = | 100 | − | 250 |
| - | 3 4 | x | = | - | 150 |
| 150 | = | 3 4 | x |
3 4 | x | = | 150 |
| x | = | 150 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 150 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 50 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 200 |
