| 1600 | ( | 1 | + | 11 20 | ) | − | 1600 | = | 2 | ( | 1 | + | 11 20 | ) | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 1600 | × | 1 | + | 1600 | × | 11 20 | − | 1600 |
| = | 1600 | + | 880 | − | 1600 |
| = | 880 |
| 880 | = | 2 | ( | 1 | + | 11 20 | ) | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | × | 1 | x | + | 2 | × | 11 20 | x |
| = | 2 | x | + | 11 10 | x |
| = | 31 10 | x |
| 880 | = | 31 10 | x |
| - | 31 10 | x | = | - | 880 |
| 880 | = | 31 10 | x |
31 10 | x | = | 880 |
| x | = | 880 | ÷ | 31 10 |
| = | 880 | × | 10 31 |
| x | = | 8800 31 |
| x | = | 283.870968 |
