9 10 | ( | x | − | 5000 | ) | + | 3500 | + | 1455 | = | 4964 |
| Left side of the equation = | 9 10 | ( | x | − | 5000 | ) | + | 4955 |
9 10 | ( | x | − | 5000 | ) | + | 4955 | = | 4964 |
| Left side of the equation = | 9 10 | x | − | 9 10 | × | 5000 | + | 4955 |
| = | 9 10 | x | − | 4500 | + | 4955 |
| = | 9 10 | x | + | 455 |
9 10 | x | + | 455 | = | 4964 |
9 10 | x | = | 4964 | − | 455 |
9 10 | x | = | 4509 |
| x | = | 4509 | ÷ | 9 10 |
| = | 4509 | × | 10 9 |
| = | 501 | × | 10 |
