| x | × | 24 | ÷ | 7 100 | − | ( | x | × | 24 | ) | = | 550 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 2400 7 | − | ( | x | × | 24 | ) |
2400 7 | x | − | ( | x | × | 24 | ) | = | 550 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2400 7 | x | − | x | × | 24 |
| = | 2232 7 | x |
2232 7 | x | = | 550 |
| x | = | 550 | ÷ | 2232 7 |
| = | 550 | × | 7 2232 |
| = | 275 | × | 7 1116 |
| x | = | 1925 1116 |
