| ( | 480 | × | 81 | − | x | ) | × | 17 20 | + | ( | 18 | + | 18 | ) | × | 81 | = | 32884 |
| Left side of the equation = | 480 | × | 81 | × | 17 20 | − | x | × | 17 20 | + | ( | 18 | + | 18 | ) | × | 81 |
| = | 33048 | − | x | × | 17 20 | + | ( | 18 | + | 18 | ) | × | 81 |
| = | 33048 | − | 17 20 | x | + | 18 | × | 81 | + | 18 | × | 81 |
| = | 33048 | − | 17 20 | x | + | 1458 | + | 1458 |
| = | 35964 | − | 17 20 | x |
| 35964 | − | 17 20 | x | = | 32884 |
| - | 17 20 | x | = | 32884 | − | 35964 |
| - | 17 20 | x | = | - | 3080 |
| 3080 | = | 17 20 | x |
17 20 | x | = | 3080 |
| x | = | 3080 | ÷ | 17 20 |
| = | 3080 | × | 20 17 |
| x | = | 61600 17 |
| x | = | 3623.529412 |
