| ( | x | − | 1949 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | − | 1776 | ) | = | 309 500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 1776 | ) |
| ( | x | − | 1949 | ) | = | 309 500 | ( | x | − | 1776 | ) |
| x | − | 1949 | = | 309 500 | ( | x | − | 1776 | ) |
| x | − | 1949 | = | 309 500 | x | − | 309 500 | × | 1776 |
| x | − | 1949 | = | 309 500 | x | − | 137196 125 |
| x | − | 309 500 | x | = | - | 137196 125 | + | 1949 |
191 500 | x | = | - | 137196 125 | + | 1949 |
191 500 | x | = | 106429 125 |
| x | = | 106429 125 | ÷ | 191 500 |
| = | 106429 125 | × | 500 191 |
| = | 106429 | × | 4 191 |
| x | = | 425716 191 |
| x | = | 2228.879581 |
