17 2 | x | − | 84 5 | ( | 200 | − | x | ) | = | 200 |
| Left side of the equation = | 17 2 | x | − | 84 5 | × | 200 | + | 84 5 | x |
| = | 17 2 | x | − | 3360 | + | 84 5 | x |
| = | 253 10 | x | − | 3360 |
253 10 | x | − | 3360 | = | 200 |
253 10 | x | = | 200 | + | 3360 |
253 10 | x | = | 3560 |
| x | = | 3560 | ÷ | 253 10 |
| = | 3560 | × | 10 253 |
| x | = | 35600 253 |
| x | = | 140.711462 |
