| X | = | 120 | + | 1 20 | X | + | 20 100 | + | 17 100 | X | ÷ | 117 100 |
| Right side of the equation = | 120 | + | 1 20 | X | + | 20 100 | + | 17 117 | X |
| = | 601 5 | + | 457 2340 | X |
| X | = | 601 5 | + | 457 2340 | X |
| X | − | 457 2340 | X | = | 601 5 |
1883 2340 | X | = | 601 5 |
| X | = | 601 5 | ÷ | 1883 2340 |
| = | 601 5 | × | 2340 1883 |
| = | 601 | × | 468 1883 |
| X | = | 281268 1883 |
| X | = | 149.372278 |
