| x | + | 20 | + | ( | 444 | − | x | ) | ( | 1 | − | 5 100 | ) | = | 444 | + | 7 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | + | 20 | + | 444 | ( | 1 | − | 5 100 | ) | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 5 100 | ) |
| = | x | + | 20 | + | 444 | × | 1 | − | 444 | × | 5 100 | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 5 100 | ) |
| = | x | + | 20 | + | 444 | − | 111 5 | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 5 100 | ) |
| = | x | + | 2209 5 | − | x | ( | 1 | − | 5 100 | ) |
| = | x | + | 2209 5 | − | x | × | 1 | + | x | × | 5 100 |
| = | 1 20 | x | + | 2209 5 |
1 20 | x | + | 2209 5 | = | 444 | + | 7 |
| Right side of the equation = | 451 |
1 20 | x | + | 2209 5 | = | 451 |
1 20 | x | = | 451 | − | 2209 5 |
1 20 | x | = | 46 5 |
| x | = | 46 5 | ÷ | 1 20 |
| = | 46 5 | × | 20 |
| = | 46 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 184 |
