| 90 | x | × | 70 100 | + | 200 | x | × | 85 100 | − | 100 | × | 85 100 | = | 63 | x | + | 20 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 63 | x | + | 170 | x | − | 85 |
| = | 233 | x | − | 85 |
| 233 | x | − | 85 | = | 63 | x | + | 20 | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 83 | x |
| 233 | x | − | 85 | = | 83 | x |
| 233 | x | − | 83 | x | = | 85 |
| 150 | x | = | 85 |
| x | = | 85 | ÷ | 150 |
| = | 85 | × | 1 150 |
| = | 17 | × | 1 30 |
| x | = | 17 30 |
| x | = | 0.566667 |
