| X | − | ( | X | − | 900 | ) | × | 91 100 | = | 3000 |
| Left side of the equation = | X | − | X | × | 91 100 | + | 900 | × | 91 100 |
| = | X | − | X | × | 91 100 | + | 819 |
| = | 9 100 | X | + | 819 |
9 100 | X | + | 819 | = | 3000 |
9 100 | X | = | 3000 | − | 819 |
9 100 | X | = | 2181 |
| X | = | 2181 | ÷ | 9 100 |
| = | 2181 | × | 100 9 |
| = | 727 | × | 100 3 |
| X | = | 72700 3 |
| X | = | 24233.333333 |
