| X | = | 218 | + | 1 20 | X | + | 25 100 | + | 17 100 | X | ÷ | 117 100 |
| Right side of the equation = | 218 | + | 1 20 | X | + | 25 100 | + | 17 117 | X |
| = | 873 4 | + | 457 2340 | X |
| X | = | 873 4 | + | 457 2340 | X |
| X | − | 457 2340 | X | = | 873 4 |
1883 2340 | X | = | 873 4 |
| X | = | 873 4 | ÷ | 1883 2340 |
| = | 873 4 | × | 2340 1883 |
| = | 873 | × | 585 1883 |
| X | = | 510705 1883 |
| X | = | 271.2188 |
