| 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | x | ÷ | 10 | ) | = | 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | + | x | ÷ | 10 | ) |
| 1 | ( | 1 | + | x | ÷ | 10 | ) | − | 1 | = | 100 | ( | 1 | + | x | ÷ | 10 | ) |
| 1 | × | 1 | + | 1 | x | ÷ | 10 | − | 1 | = | 100 | ( | 1 | + | x | ÷ | 10 | ) |
| 1 | × | 1 | + | 1 | x | ÷ | 10 | − | 1 | = | 100 | × | 1 | + | 100 | x | ÷ | 10 |
| 1 | + | 1 10 | x | − | 1 | = | 100 | + | 10 | x |
| 0 | + | 1 10 | x | = | 100 | + | 10 | x |
1 10 | x | − | 10 | x | = | 100 |
| - | 99 10 | x | = | 100 |
| - | 100 | = | 99 10 | x |
99 10 | x | = | - | 100 |
| x | = | - | 100 | ÷ | 99 10 |
| = | - | 100 | × | 10 99 |
| x | = | - | 1000 99 |
| x | = | - 10.10101 |
