| x | + | 9 | = | ( | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 10 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 10 3 | + | 1 | × | 10 3 |
| = | x | × | 10 3 | + | 10 3 |
| x | + | 9 | = | 10 3 | x | + | 10 3 |
| x | − | 10 3 | x | = | 10 3 | − | 9 |
| - | 7 3 | x | = | 10 3 | − | 9 |
| - | 7 3 | x | = | - | 17 3 |
17 3 | = | 7 3 | x |
7 3 | x | = | 17 3 |
| x | = | 17 3 | ÷ | 7 3 |
| = | 17 3 | × | 3 7 |
| = | 17 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 17 7 |
| x | = | 2.428571 |
