| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 5 | − | 3500 | × | 1 5 | − | 555 |
| = | x | × | 1 5 | − | 700 | − | 555 |
| = | 1 5 | x | − | 1255 |
1 5 | x | − | 1255 | = | 39897 100 |
1 5 | x | = | 39897 100 | + | 1255 |
1 5 | x | = | 165397 100 |
| x | = | 165397 100 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 165397 100 | × | 5 |
| = | 165397 20 | × | 1 |
