| ( | 38999 | − | x | ) | × | 6 5 | = | 39002 |
| Left side of the equation = | 38999 | × | 6 5 | − | x | × | 6 5 |
| = | 233994 5 | − | x | × | 6 5 |
233994 5 | − | 6 5 | x | = | 39002 |
| - | 6 5 | x | = | 39002 | − | 233994 5 |
| - | 6 5 | x | = | - | 38984 5 |
38984 5 | = | 6 5 | x |
6 5 | x | = | 38984 5 |
| x | = | 38984 5 | ÷ | 6 5 |
| = | 38984 5 | × | 5 6 |
| = | 19492 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 19492 3 |
| x | = | 6497.333333 |
