| - | 100 | = | - | ( | 390 | + | 390 | + | ( | 390 | × | 390 | ÷ | x | ) | ) | ÷ | 51 |
| - | 100 | = | - | 390 | ÷ | 51 | − | 390 | ÷ | 51 | − | ( | 390 | × | 390 | ÷ | x | ) | ÷ | 51 |
| - | 100 | = | - | 130 17 | − | 130 17 | − | ( | 390 | × | 390 | ÷ | x | ) | × | 1 51 |
| - | 100 | = | - | 260 17 | − | ( | 390 | × | 390 | ÷ | x | ) | × | 1 51 |
| - | 100 | = | - | 260 17 | − | 390 | × | 390 | ÷ | x | × | 1 51 |
| - | 100 | = | - | 260 17 | − | 50700 17 | ÷ | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| - | 100 | x | = | - | 260 17 | x | − | 50700 17 |
| - | 100 | x | + | 260 17 | x | = | - | 50700 17 |
| - | 1440 17 | x | = | - | 50700 17 |
50700 17 | = | 1440 17 | x |
1440 17 | x | = | 50700 17 |
| x | = | 50700 17 | ÷ | 1440 17 |
| = | 50700 17 | × | 17 1440 |
| = | 845 | × | 1 24 |
| x | = | 845 24 |
| x | = | 35.208333 |
