| ( | 5 4 | x | + | 6 5 | ( | 300 | − | x | ) | ) | × | 4 5 | = | 296 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 4 | x | × | 4 5 | + | 6 5 | ( | 300 | − | x | ) | × | 4 5 |
| = | 1 | x | + | 24 25 | ( | 300 | − | x | ) |
| = | 1 | x | + | 24 25 | × | 300 | − | 24 25 | x |
| = | 1 | x | + | 288 | − | 24 25 | x |
| = | 1 25 | x | + | 288 |
1 25 | x | + | 288 | = | 296 |
1 25 | x | = | 296 | − | 288 |
1 25 | x | = | 8 |
| x | = | 8 | ÷ | 1 25 |
| = | 8 | × | 25 |
| x | = | 200 |
