| 10 | ÷ | 7 | × | x | − | 17 | − | 20 | x | ÷ | 3 | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 10 7 | x | − | 17 | − | 20 3 | x |
| = | - | 110 21 | x | − | 17 |
| - | 110 21 | x | − | 17 | = | 1 |
| - | 110 21 | x | = | 1 | + | 17 |
| - | 110 21 | x | = | 18 |
| - | 18 | = | 110 21 | x |
110 21 | x | = | - | 18 |
| x | = | - | 18 | ÷ | 110 21 |
| = | - | 18 | × | 21 110 |
| = | - | 9 | × | 21 55 |
| x | = | - | 189 55 |
| x | = | - 3.436364 |
