17 25 | x | + | 141 50 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 17 25 | x | + | 141 50 | × | 1 | − | 141 50 | x |
| = | 17 25 | x | + | 141 50 | − | 141 50 | x |
| = | - | 107 50 | x | + | 141 50 |
| - | 107 50 | x | + | 141 50 | = | 1 |
| - | 107 50 | x | = | 1 | − | 141 50 |
| - | 107 50 | x | = | - | 91 50 |
91 50 | = | 107 50 | x |
107 50 | x | = | 91 50 |
| x | = | 91 50 | ÷ | 107 50 |
| = | 91 50 | × | 50 107 |
| = | 91 | × | 1 107 |
| x | = | 91 107 |
| x | = | 0.850467 |
