| ( | x | + | 724 | ) | × | 9 10 | + | 277 | = | 969 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 9 10 | + | 724 | × | 9 10 | + | 277 |
| = | x | × | 9 10 | + | 3258 5 | + | 277 |
| = | 9 10 | x | + | 4643 5 |
9 10 | x | + | 4643 5 | = | 969 |
9 10 | x | = | 969 | − | 4643 5 |
9 10 | x | = | 202 5 |
| x | = | 202 5 | ÷ | 9 10 |
| = | 202 5 | × | 10 9 |
| = | 202 | × | 2 9 |
| x | = | 404 9 |
