17 50 | x | + | 5 | × | 980 | = | 2 5 | x | + | 2350 |
| Left side of the equation = | 17 50 | x | + | 4900 |
17 50 | x | + | 4900 | = | 2 5 | x | + | 2350 |
17 50 | x | − | 2 5 | x | = | 2350 | − | 4900 |
| - | 3 50 | x | = | 2350 | − | 4900 |
| - | 3 50 | x | = | - | 2550 |
| 2550 | = | 3 50 | x |
3 50 | x | = | 2550 |
| x | = | 2550 | ÷ | 3 50 |
| = | 2550 | × | 50 3 |
| = | 850 | × | 50 |
| x | = | 42500 |
