| ( | 1833 | − | X | ) | ÷ | ( | X | − | 716 | ) | × | 100 | = | 1 2 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | X | − | 716 | ) |
| ( | 1833 | − | X | ) | × | 100 | = | 1 2 | ( | X | − | 716 | ) |
| 1833 | × | 100 | − | X | × | 100 | = | 1 2 | ( | X | − | 716 | ) |
| 1833 | × | 100 | − | X | × | 100 | = | 1 2 | X | − | 1 2 | × | 716 |
| 183300 | − | X | × | 100 | = | 1 2 | X | − | 358 |
| - | 100 | X | − | 1 2 | X | = | - | 358 | − | 183300 |
| - | 201 2 | X | = | - | 358 | − | 183300 |
| - | 201 2 | X | = | - | 183658 |
| 183658 | = | 201 2 | X |
201 2 | X | = | 183658 |
| X | = | 183658 | ÷ | 201 2 |
| = | 183658 | × | 2 201 |
| X | = | 367316 201 |
| X | = | 1827.442786 |
