| 50 | x | + | 20 | = | 50 | ( | 1 | + | 10 100 | ) | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 50 | × | 1 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | + | 50 | × | 10 100 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
| = | 50 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | + | 5 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
| = | 50 | x | − | 50 | × | 10 | + | 5 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
| = | 50 | x | − | 500 | + | 5 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
| = | 50 | x | − | 500 | + | 5 | x | − | 5 | × | 10 |
| = | 50 | x | − | 500 | + | 5 | x | − | 50 |
| = | 55 | x | − | 550 |
| 50 | x | + | 20 | = | 55 | x | − | 550 |
| 50 | x | − | 55 | x | = | - | 550 | − | 20 |
| - | 5 | x | = | - | 550 | − | 20 |
| - | 5 | x | = | - | 570 |
| 570 | = | 5 | x |
| 5 | x | = | 570 |
| x | = | 570 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 570 | × | 1 5 |
| = | 114 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 114 |
