| ( | 1000 | − | 100 | x | ) | + | ( | 30 | x | ) | − | ( | 1000 | − | 100 | x | ) | × | 20 | = | 9600 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1000 | − | 100 | x | + | ( | 30 | x | ) | − | ( | 1000 | − | 100 | x | ) | × | 20 |
| = | 1000 | − | 100 | x | + | 30 | x | − | ( | 1000 | − | 100 | x | ) | × | 20 |
| = | 1000 | − | 70 | x | − | ( | 1000 | − | 100 | x | ) | × | 20 |
| = | 1000 | − | 70 | x | − | 1000 | × | 20 | + | 100 | x | × | 20 |
| = | 1000 | − | 70 | x | − | 20000 | + | 2000 | x |
| = | - | 19000 | + | 1930 | x |
| - | 19000 | + | 1930 | x | = | 9600 |
| 1930 | x | = | 9600 | + | 19000 |
| 1930 | x | = | 28600 |
| x | = | 28600 | ÷ | 1930 |
| = | 28600 | × | 1 1930 |
| = | 2860 | × | 1 193 |
| x | = | 2860 193 |
| x | = | 14.818653 |
