| ( | 828 | + | X | ) | = | 3 | ( | 200 | + | X | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 828 | + | X |
| 828 | + | X | = | 3 | ( | 200 | + | X | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 200 | + | 3 | X |
| = | 600 | + | 3 | X |
| 828 | + | X | = | 600 | + | 3 | X |
| X | − | 3 | X | = | 600 | − | 828 |
| - | 2 | X | = | 600 | − | 828 |
| - | 2 | X | = | - | 228 |
| 228 | = | 2 | X |
| 2 | X | = | 228 |
| X | = | 228 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 228 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 114 | × | 1 |
| X | = | 114 |
