| ( | 11 20 | x | + | 3 5 | x | + | 17 20 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | x | − | 400 | ) | = | 57 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 400 | ) |
| ( | 11 20 | x | + | 3 5 | x | + | 17 20 | x | ) | = | 57 100 | ( | x | − | 400 | ) |
11 20 | x | + | 3 5 | x | + | 17 20 | x | = | 57 100 | ( | x | − | 400 | ) |
11 20 | x | + | 3 5 | x | + | 17 20 | x | = | 57 100 | x | − | 57 100 | × | 400 |
11 20 | x | + | 3 5 | x | + | 17 20 | x | = | 57 100 | x | − | 228 |
| 2 | x | = | 57 100 | x | − | 228 |
| 2 | x | − | 57 100 | x | = | - | 228 |
143 100 | x | = | - | 228 |
| x | = | - | 228 | ÷ | 143 100 |
| = | - | 228 | × | 100 143 |
| x | = | - | 22800 143 |
| x | = | - 159.440559 |
