| ( | x | − | 36 5 | ) | × | 149 100 | = | 73 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 149 100 | − | 36 5 | × | 149 100 |
| = | x | × | 149 100 | − | 1341 125 |
149 100 | x | − | 1341 125 | = | 73 5 |
149 100 | x | = | 73 5 | + | 1341 125 |
149 100 | x | = | 3166 125 |
| x | = | 3166 125 | ÷ | 149 100 |
| = | 3166 125 | × | 100 149 |
| = | 3166 5 | × | 4 149 |
| x | = | 12664 745 |
