| 169 | x | − | 6600 | − | 101 | ( | x | − | 12 | ) | = | 1500 |
| Left side of the equation = | 169 | x | − | 6600 | − | 101 | x | + | 101 | × | 12 |
| = | 169 | x | − | 6600 | − | 101 | x | + | 1212 |
| = | 68 | x | − | 5388 |
| 68 | x | − | 5388 | = | 1500 |
| 68 | x | = | 1500 | + | 5388 |
| 68 | x | = | 6888 |
| x | = | 6888 | ÷ | 68 |
| = | 6888 | × | 1 68 |
| = | 1722 | × | 1 17 |
| x | = | 1722 17 |
| x | = | 101.294118 |
