| 100 | ( | x | − | 73 1000 | ) | × | 47 25 | = | 251 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 188 | ( | x | − | 73 1000 | ) |
| 188 | ( | x | − | 73 1000 | ) | = | 251 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 188 | x | − | 188 | × | 73 1000 |
| = | 188 | x | − | 3431 250 |
| 188 | x | − | 3431 250 | = | 251 20 |
| 188 | x | = | 251 20 | + | 3431 250 |
| 188 | x | = | 13137 500 |
| x | = | 13137 500 | ÷ | 188 |
