| x | − | ( | x | − | 5000 | ) | × | 20 100 | = | 16810 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | x | × | 20 100 | + | 5000 | × | 20 100 |
| = | x | − | x | × | 20 100 | + | 1000 |
| = | 4 5 | x | + | 1000 |
4 5 | x | + | 1000 | = | 16810 |
4 5 | x | = | 16810 | − | 1000 |
4 5 | x | = | 15810 |
| x | = | 15810 | ÷ | 4 5 |
| = | 15810 | × | 5 4 |
| = | 7905 | × | 5 2 |
| x | = | 39525 2 |
| x | = | 19762.5 |
