| ( | x | ÷ | 1 5 | ) | − | ( | ( | 31 100 | x | − | 13 100 | ) | ÷ | 3 100 | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | ÷ | 1 5 | − | ( | ( | 31 100 | x | − | 13 100 | ) | ÷ | 3 100 | ) |
| = | 5 | x | − | ( | 31 100 | x | − | 13 100 | ) | ÷ | 3 100 |
| = | 5 | x | − | 31 100 | x | × | 100 3 | + | 13 100 | × | 100 3 |
| = | 5 | x | − | 31 3 | x | + | 13 3 |
| = | - | 16 3 | x | + | 13 3 |
| - | 16 3 | x | + | 13 3 | = | 1 |
| - | 16 3 | x | = | 1 | − | 13 3 |
| - | 16 3 | x | = | - | 10 3 |
10 3 | = | 16 3 | x |
16 3 | x | = | 10 3 |
| x | = | 10 3 | ÷ | 16 3 |
| = | 10 3 | × | 3 16 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 8 |
| x | = | 5 8 |
| x | = | 0.625 |
