| ( | 174 5 | ( | 1 | + | 15 100 | ) | ) | + | ( | 5 100 | x | ) | = | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 174 5 | ( | 1 | + | 15 100 | ) | + | ( | 5 100 | x | ) |
| = | 174 5 | × | 1 | + | 174 5 | × | 15 100 | + | ( | 5 100 | x | ) |
| = | 174 5 | + | 261 50 | + | ( | 5 100 | x | ) |
| = | 2001 50 | + | ( | 5 100 | x | ) |
| = | 2001 50 | + | 5 100 | x |
2001 50 | + | 5 100 | x | = | x |
5 100 | x | − | x | = | - | 2001 50 |
| - | 19 20 | x | = | - | 2001 50 |
2001 50 | = | 19 20 | x |
19 20 | x | = | 2001 50 |
| x | = | 2001 50 | ÷ | 19 20 |
| = | 2001 50 | × | 20 19 |
| = | 2001 5 | × | 2 19 |
| x | = | 4002 95 |
| x | = | 42.126316 |
