| X | ÷ | 182 | − | ( | 100 | − | X | ) | ÷ | 1000 | = | 17 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 182 | X | − | 100 | × | 1 1000 | + | X | × | 1 1000 |
| = | 1 182 | X | − | 1 10 | + | X | × | 1 1000 |
| = | 591 91000 | X | − | 1 10 |
591 91000 | X | − | 1 10 | = | 17 100 |
591 91000 | X | = | 17 100 | + | 1 10 |
591 91000 | X | = | 27 100 |
| X | = | 27 100 | ÷ | 591 91000 |
| = | 27 100 | × | 91000 591 |
| = | 9 | × | 910 197 |
| X | = | 8190 197 |
| X | = | 41.573604 |
