| 100 | + | ( | x | − | 0 | + | 26 | ) | ÷ | 3 | = | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 100 | + | x | × | 1 3 | − | 0 | × | 1 3 | + | 26 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 100 | + | x | × | 1 3 | − | 0 | + | 26 3 |
| = | 326 3 | + | 1 3 | x |
326 3 | + | 1 3 | x | = | x |
1 3 | x | − | x | = | - | 326 3 |
| - | 2 3 | x | = | - | 326 3 |
326 3 | = | 2 3 | x |
2 3 | x | = | 326 3 |
| x | = | 326 3 | ÷ | 2 3 |
| = | 326 3 | × | 3 2 |
| = | 163 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 163 |
