| 5 | x | + | 37 | × | 479 100 | = | 489 100 | x | + | 37 | × | 489 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | x | + | 17723 100 |
| 5 | x | + | 17723 100 | = | 489 100 | x | + | 37 | × | 489 100 |
| Right side of the equation = | 489 100 | x | + | 18093 100 |
| 5 | x | + | 17723 100 | = | 489 100 | x | + | 18093 100 |
| 5 | x | − | 489 100 | x | = | 18093 100 | − | 17723 100 |
11 100 | x | = | 18093 100 | − | 17723 100 |
11 100 | x | = | 37 10 |
| x | = | 37 10 | ÷ | 11 100 |
| = | 37 10 | × | 100 11 |
| = | 37 | × | 10 11 |
| x | = | 370 11 |
