| 2 | × | 157 50 | r | + | 129 10 | = | 2 | × | 157 50 | r | × | 3 4 | + | 2 | r |
| Left side of the equation = | 157 25 | r | + | 129 10 |
157 25 | r | + | 129 10 | = | 2 | × | 157 50 | r | × | 3 4 | + | 2 | r |
| Right side of the equation = | 471 100 | r | + | 2 | r |
| = | 671 100 | r |
157 25 | r | + | 129 10 | = | 671 100 | r |
157 25 | r | − | 671 100 | r | = | - | 129 10 |
| - | 43 100 | r | = | - | 129 10 |
129 10 | = | 43 100 | r |
43 100 | r | = | 129 10 |
| r | = | 129 10 | ÷ | 43 100 |
| = | 129 10 | × | 100 43 |
| = | 3 | × | 10 |
| r | = | 30 |
