| ( | 100 | − | x | ) | ( | 1009 50 | + | 16 25 | ) | + | x | = | 259 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 100 | ( | 1009 50 | + | 16 25 | ) | − | x | ( | 1009 50 | + | 16 25 | ) | + | x |
| = | 100 | × | 1009 50 | + | 100 | × | 16 25 | − | x | ( | 1009 50 | + | 16 25 | ) | + | x |
| = | 2018 | + | 64 | − | x | ( | 1009 50 | + | 16 25 | ) | + | x |
| = | 2082 | − | x | ( | 1009 50 | + | 16 25 | ) | + | x |
| = | 2082 | − | x | × | 1009 50 | − | x | × | 16 25 | + | x |
| = | 2082 | − | 991 50 | x |
| 2082 | − | 991 50 | x | = | 259 10 |
| - | 991 50 | x | = | 259 10 | − | 2082 |
| - | 991 50 | x | = | - | 20561 10 |
20561 10 | = | 991 50 | x |
991 50 | x | = | 20561 10 |
| x | = | 20561 10 | ÷ | 991 50 |
| = | 20561 10 | × | 50 991 |
| = | 20561 | × | 5 991 |
| x | = | 102805 991 |
| x | = | 103.738648 |
