8 100 | a | + | 24 100 | ( | 1 | − | a | ) | = | 36 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 8 100 | a | + | 24 100 | × | 1 | − | 24 100 | a |
| = | 8 100 | a | + | 6 25 | − | 24 100 | a |
| = | - | 4 25 | a | + | 6 25 |
| - | 4 25 | a | + | 6 25 | = | 36 100 |
| - | 4 25 | a | = | 36 100 | − | 6 25 |
| - | 4 25 | a | = | 3 25 |
| - | 3 25 | = | 4 25 | a |
4 25 | a | = | - | 3 25 |
| a | = | - | 3 25 | ÷ | 4 25 |
| = | - | 3 25 | × | 25 4 |
| = | - | 3 | × | 1 4 |
| a | = | - | 3 4 |
| a | = | - 0.75 |
