| 1977 | x | ÷ | ( | 1140 | ( | 30 | − | x | ) | + | 1977 | x | ) | = | 3 20 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1140 | ( | 30 | − | x | ) | + | 1977 | x | ) |
| 1977 | x | = | 3 20 | ( | 1140 | ( | 30 | − | x | ) | + | 1977 | x | ) |
| 1977 | x | = | 3 20 | × | 1140 | ( | 30 | − | x | ) | + | 3 20 | × | 1977 | x |
| 1977 | x | = | 171 | ( | 30 | − | x | ) | + | 5931 20 | x |
| 1977 | x | = | 171 | × | 30 | − | 171 | x | + | 5931 20 | x |
| 1977 | x | = | 5130 | − | 171 | x | + | 5931 20 | x |
| 1977 | x | = | 5130 | + | 2511 20 | x |
| 1977 | x | − | 2511 20 | x | = | 5130 |
37029 20 | x | = | 5130 |
| x | = | 5130 | ÷ | 37029 20 |
| = | 5130 | × | 20 37029 |
| = | 1710 | × | 20 12343 |
| x | = | 34200 12343 |
| x | = | 2.770801 |
