| ( | 500 | − | 93 100 | X | − | 187 | ) | × | 15 | = | 1000 |
| Left side of the equation = | 500 | × | 15 | − | 93 100 | X | × | 15 | − | 187 | × | 15 |
| = | 7500 | − | 279 20 | X | − | 2805 |
| = | 4695 | − | 279 20 | X |
| 4695 | − | 279 20 | X | = | 1000 |
| - | 279 20 | X | = | 1000 | − | 4695 |
| - | 279 20 | X | = | - | 3695 |
| 3695 | = | 279 20 | X |
279 20 | X | = | 3695 |
| X | = | 3695 | ÷ | 279 20 |
| = | 3695 | × | 20 279 |
| X | = | 73900 279 |
| X | = | 264.874552 |
