17 2 | x | + | 84 5 | ( | 400 | − | x | ) | = | 400 |
| Left side of the equation = | 17 2 | x | + | 84 5 | × | 400 | − | 84 5 | x |
| = | 17 2 | x | + | 6720 | − | 84 5 | x |
| = | - | 83 10 | x | + | 6720 |
| - | 83 10 | x | + | 6720 | = | 400 |
| - | 83 10 | x | = | 400 | − | 6720 |
| - | 83 10 | x | = | - | 6320 |
| 6320 | = | 83 10 | x |
83 10 | x | = | 6320 |
| x | = | 6320 | ÷ | 83 10 |
| = | 6320 | × | 10 83 |
| x | = | 63200 83 |
| x | = | 761.445783 |
