| Left side of the equation = | 9 5 | − | 3 100 | x | × | 10 3 | + | 3 50 | × | 10 3 |
| = | 9 5 | − | 1 10 | x | + | 1 5 |
| = | 2 | − | 1 10 | x |
| 2 | − | 1 10 | x | = | 7 2 |
| - | 1 10 | x | = | 7 2 | − | 2 |
| - | 1 10 | x | = | 3 2 |
| - | 3 2 | = | 1 10 | x |
1 10 | x | = | - | 3 2 |
| x | = | - | 3 2 | ÷ | 1 10 |
| = | - | 3 2 | × | 10 |
