| 1 | ÷ | ( | 13 10 | + | 3 200 | x | ) | = | 17 20 | − | 3 400 | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 13 10 | + | 3 200 | x | ) |
| 1 | = | 17 20 | ( | 13 10 | + | 3 200 | x | ) | − | 3 400 | x | ( | 13 10 | + | 3 200 | x | ) |
| 1 | = | 17 20 | × | 13 10 | + | 17 20 | × | 3 200 | x | − | 3 400 | x | ( | 13 10 | + | 3 200 | x | ) |
| 1 | = | 221 200 | + | 51 4000 | x | − | 3 400 | x | ( | 13 10 | + | 3 200 | x | ) |
| 1 | = | 221 200 | + | 51 4000 | x | − | 3 400 | x | × | 13 10 | − | 3 400 | x | × | 3 200 | x |
| 1 | = | 221 200 | + | 51 4000 | x | − | 39 4000 | x | − | 9 80000 | x | x |
| 1 | = | 221 200 | + | 3 1000 | x | − | 9 80000 | x | x |
| x1=-20 |
