| ( | ( | 3600 | − | x | ) | × | 23 20 | + | x | × | 6 5 | ) | × | 9 10 | = | 3718 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | 3600 | − | x | ) | × | 23 20 | × | 9 10 | + | x | × | 6 5 | × | 9 10 |
| = | ( | 3600 | − | x | ) | × | 207 200 | + | x | × | 27 25 |
| = | 3600 | × | 207 200 | − | x | × | 207 200 | + | 27 25 | x |
| = | 3726 | − | x | × | 207 200 | + | 27 25 | x |
| = | 3726 | + | 9 200 | x |
| 3726 | + | 9 200 | x | = | 3718 |
9 200 | x | = | 3718 | − | 3726 |
9 200 | x | = | - | 8 |
| x | = | - | 8 | ÷ | 9 200 |
| = | - | 8 | × | 200 9 |
| x | = | - | 1600 9 |
| x | = | - 177.777778 |
