| 200 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | = | 150 | x | × | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 200 | x | + | 200 | × | 2 |
| = | 200 | x | + | 400 |
| 200 | x | + | 400 | = | 150 | x | × | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 300 | x |
| 200 | x | + | 400 | = | 300 | x |
| 200 | x | − | 300 | x | = | - | 400 |
| - | 100 | x | = | - | 400 |
| 400 | = | 100 | x |
| 100 | x | = | 400 |
| x | = | 400 | ÷ | 100 |
| = | 400 | × | 1 100 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 4 |
