| 1000000 | ( | 1 20 | x | − | 3 100 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | ) | = | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1000000 | × | 1 20 | x | − | 1000000 | × | 3 100 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 50000 | x | − | 30000 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 50000 | x | − | 30000 | × | 1 | + | 30000 | x |
| = | 50000 | x | − | 30000 | + | 30000 | x |
| = | 80000 | x | − | 30000 |
| 80000 | x | − | 30000 | = | 2 |
| 80000 | x | = | 2 | + | 30000 |
| 80000 | x | = | 30002 |
| x | = | 30002 | ÷ | 80000 |
| = | 30002 | × | 1 80000 |
| = | 15001 | × | 1 40000 |
| x | = | 15001 40000 |
| x | = | 0.375025 |
