| ( | 3997 50 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 3997 50 | = | 73 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3997 50 | × | 50 3997 | − | x | × | 50 3997 |
| = | 1 | − | x | × | 50 3997 |
| 1 | − | 50 3997 | x | = | 73 5 |
| - | 50 3997 | x | = | 73 5 | − | 1 |
| - | 50 3997 | x | = | 68 5 |
| - | 68 5 | = | 50 3997 | x |
50 3997 | x | = | - | 68 5 |
| x | = | - | 68 5 | ÷ | 50 3997 |
| = | - | 68 5 | × | 3997 50 |
| = | - | 34 5 | × | 3997 25 |
| x | = | - | 135898 125 |
| x | = | - 1087.184 |
