| Left side of the equation = | 27 20 | x | + | 63 50 | × | 500 | − | 63 50 | x | − | 157 |
| = | 27 20 | x | + | 630 | − | 63 50 | x | − | 157 |
| = | 9 100 | x | + | 473 |
9 100 | x | + | 473 | = | 500 |
9 100 | x | = | 500 | − | 473 |
9 100 | x | = | 27 |
| x | = | 27 | ÷ | 9 100 |
| = | 27 | × | 100 9 |
