| x | × | 24 | ÷ | 33 200 | − | ( | x | × | 24 | ) | = | 550 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1600 11 | − | ( | x | × | 24 | ) |
1600 11 | x | − | ( | x | × | 24 | ) | = | 550 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1600 11 | x | − | x | × | 24 |
| = | 1336 11 | x |
1336 11 | x | = | 550 |
| x | = | 550 | ÷ | 1336 11 |
| = | 550 | × | 11 1336 |
