27 500 | x | + | 207 2500 | ( | 2000 | − | x | ) | = | 612 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 27 500 | x | + | 207 2500 | × | 2000 | − | 207 2500 | x |
| = | 27 500 | x | + | 828 5 | − | 207 2500 | x |
| = | - | 18 625 | x | + | 828 5 |
| - | 18 625 | x | + | 828 5 | = | 612 5 |
| - | 18 625 | x | = | 612 5 | − | 828 5 |
| - | 18 625 | x | = | - | 216 5 |
216 5 | = | 18 625 | x |
18 625 | x | = | 216 5 |
| x | = | 216 5 | ÷ | 18 625 |
| = | 216 5 | × | 625 18 |
| = | 12 | × | 125 |
| x | = | 1500 |
