| 100 | × | 20 | = | ( | 100 | + | x | ) | × | 14 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2000 |
| 2000 | = | ( | 100 | + | x | ) | × | 14 100 |
| Right side of the equation = | 100 | × | 14 100 | + | x | × | 14 100 |
| = | 14 | + | x | × | 14 100 |
| 2000 | = | 14 | + | 14 100 | x |
| - | 14 100 | x | = | 14 | − | 2000 |
| - | 14 100 | x | = | - | 1986 |
| 1986 | = | 14 100 | x |
14 100 | x | = | 1986 |
| x | = | 1986 | ÷ | 14 100 |
| = | 1986 | × | 100 14 |
| = | 993 | × | 100 7 |
| x | = | 99300 7 |
| x | = | 14185.714286 |
