| 5 | − | 1 10 | − | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ÷ | x | × | 1 10 | × | 3 10 | = | 11 50 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 5 | x | − | 1 10 | x | − | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 1 10 | × | 3 10 | = | 11 50 | x |
| 5 | x | − | 1 10 | x | − | 1 | × | 1 10 | × | 3 10 | − | x | × | 1 10 | × | 3 10 | = | 11 50 | x |
| 5 | x | − | 1 10 | x | − | 3 100 | − | x | × | 3 100 | = | 11 50 | x |
487 100 | x | − | 3 100 | = | 11 50 | x |
487 100 | x | − | 11 50 | x | = | 3 100 |
93 20 | x | = | 3 100 |
| x | = | 3 100 | ÷ | 93 20 |
| = | 3 100 | × | 20 93 |
| = | 1 5 | × | 1 31 |
| x | = | 1 155 |
