| ( | 1 100 | + | a | ) | ÷ | ( | 1 100 | − | 1 5 | a | + | a | × | 2 | ) | = | 149 50 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 100 | − | 1 5 | a | + | a | × | 2 | ) |
| ( | 1 100 | + | a | ) | = | 149 50 | ( | 1 100 | − | 1 5 | a | + | a | × | 2 | ) |
1 100 | + | a | = | 149 50 | ( | 1 100 | − | 1 5 | a | + | a | × | 2 | ) |
1 100 | + | a | = | 149 50 | × | 1 100 | − | 149 50 | × | 1 5 | a | + | 149 50 | a | × | 2 |
1 100 | + | a | = | 149 5000 | − | 149 250 | a | + | 149 25 | a |
1 100 | + | a | = | 149 5000 | + | 1341 250 | a |
| a | − | 1341 250 | a | = | 149 5000 | − | 1 100 |
| - | 1091 250 | a | = | 149 5000 | − | 1 100 |
| - | 1091 250 | a | = | 99 5000 |
| - | 99 5000 | = | 1091 250 | a |
1091 250 | a | = | - | 99 5000 |
| a | = | - | 99 5000 | ÷ | 1091 250 |
| = | - | 99 5000 | × | 250 1091 |
| = | - | 99 20 | × | 1 1091 |
| a | = | - | 99 21820 |
| a | = | - 0.004537 |
