| ( | 10 100 | − | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 10 100 | − | 15 100 | ) | = | 1697 2500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 10 100 | − | 15 100 | ) |
| ( | 10 100 | − | x | ) | = | 1697 2500 | ( | 10 100 | − | 15 100 | ) |
10 100 | − | x | = | 1697 2500 | ( | 10 100 | − | 15 100 | ) |
10 100 | − | x | = | 1697 2500 | × | 10 100 | − | 1697 2500 | × | 15 100 |
10 100 | − | x | = | 1697 25000 | − | 5091 50000 |
10 100 | − | x | = | - | 1697 50000 |
| - | x | = | - | 1697 50000 | − | 10 100 |
| - | x | = | - | 6697 50000 |
6697 50000 | = | x |
| x | = | 6697 50000 |
