| 5 | − | 1 10 | − | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ÷ | x | × | 1 10 | × | 3 10 | = | 200 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 5 | x | − | 1 10 | x | − | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 1 10 | × | 3 10 | = | 200 | x |
| 5 | x | − | 1 10 | x | − | 1 | × | 1 10 | × | 3 10 | − | x | × | 1 10 | × | 3 10 | = | 200 | x |
| 5 | x | − | 1 10 | x | − | 3 100 | − | x | × | 3 100 | = | 200 | x |
487 100 | x | − | 3 100 | = | 200 | x |
487 100 | x | − | 200 | x | = | 3 100 |
| - | 19513 100 | x | = | 3 100 |
| - | 3 100 | = | 19513 100 | x |
19513 100 | x | = | - | 3 100 |
| x | = | - | 3 100 | ÷ | 19513 100 |
| = | - | 3 100 | × | 100 19513 |
| = | - | 3 | × | 1 19513 |
| x | = | - | 3 19513 |
| x | = | - 0.000154 |
