| ( | 1833 | − | X | ) | ÷ | ( | X | − | 716 | ) | = | 1 200 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | X | − | 716 | ) |
| ( | 1833 | − | X | ) | = | 1 200 | ( | X | − | 716 | ) |
| 1833 | − | X | = | 1 200 | ( | X | − | 716 | ) |
| 1833 | − | X | = | 1 200 | X | − | 1 200 | × | 716 |
| 1833 | − | X | = | 1 200 | X | − | 179 50 |
| - | X | − | 1 200 | X | = | - | 179 50 | − | 1833 |
| - | 201 200 | X | = | - | 179 50 | − | 1833 |
| - | 201 200 | X | = | - | 91829 50 |
91829 50 | = | 201 200 | X |
201 200 | X | = | 91829 50 |
| X | = | 91829 50 | ÷ | 201 200 |
| = | 91829 50 | × | 200 201 |
| = | 91829 | × | 4 201 |
| X | = | 367316 201 |
| X | = | 1827.442786 |
