| ( | x | + | 5 | ) | ÷ | 3 | + | 173 100 | x | ÷ | 3 | = | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | × | 1 3 | + | 173 300 | x |
| ( | x | + | 5 | ) | × | 1 3 | + | 173 300 | x | = | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 3 | + | 5 | × | 1 3 | + | 173 300 | x |
| = | x | × | 1 3 | + | 5 3 | + | 173 300 | x |
| = | 91 100 | x | + | 5 3 |
91 100 | x | + | 5 3 | = | 5 |
91 100 | x | = | 5 | − | 5 3 |
91 100 | x | = | 10 3 |
| x | = | 10 3 | ÷ | 91 100 |
| = | 10 3 | × | 100 91 |
| x | = | 1000 273 |
