| 1600 | ( | 1 | + | 9 20 | ) | − | 1600 | = | 2 | ( | 1 | + | 9 20 | ) | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 1600 | × | 1 | + | 1600 | × | 9 20 | − | 1600 |
| = | 1600 | + | 720 | − | 1600 |
| = | 720 |
| 720 | = | 2 | ( | 1 | + | 9 20 | ) | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | × | 1 | x | + | 2 | × | 9 20 | x |
| = | 2 | x | + | 9 10 | x |
| = | 29 10 | x |
| 720 | = | 29 10 | x |
| - | 29 10 | x | = | - | 720 |
| 720 | = | 29 10 | x |
29 10 | x | = | 720 |
| x | = | 720 | ÷ | 29 10 |
| = | 720 | × | 10 29 |
| x | = | 7200 29 |
| x | = | 248.275862 |
