8 100 | x | + | 15 100 | ( | 420 | − | x | ) | = | 420 | × | 10 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 8 100 | x | + | 15 100 | × | 420 | − | 15 100 | x |
| = | 8 100 | x | + | 63 | − | 15 100 | x |
| = | - | 7 100 | x | + | 63 |
| - | 7 100 | x | + | 63 | = | 420 | × | 10 100 |
| Right side of the equation = | 42 |
| - | 7 100 | x | + | 63 | = | 42 |
| - | 7 100 | x | = | 42 | − | 63 |
| - | 7 100 | x | = | - | 21 |
| 21 | = | 7 100 | x |
7 100 | x | = | 21 |
| x | = | 21 | ÷ | 7 100 |
| = | 21 | × | 100 7 |
| = | 3 | × | 100 |
| x | = | 300 |
