| 1 | ÷ | 25 | × | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 20 | × | ( | 2900 | − | x | ) | = | 130 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 25 | x | + | 1 20 | ( | 2900 | − | x | ) |
1 25 | x | + | 1 20 | ( | 2900 | − | x | ) | = | 130 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 25 | x | + | 1 20 | × | 2900 | − | 1 20 | x |
| = | 1 25 | x | + | 145 | − | 1 20 | x |
| = | - | 1 100 | x | + | 145 |
| - | 1 100 | x | + | 145 | = | 130 |
| - | 1 100 | x | = | 130 | − | 145 |
| - | 1 100 | x | = | - | 15 |
| 15 | = | 1 100 | x |
1 100 | x | = | 15 |
| x | = | 15 | ÷ | 1 100 |
| = | 15 | × | 100 |
