| x | − | 1 | = | 287 500 | ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 287 500 | × | 2 | x | + | 287 500 | × | 1 |
| = | 287 250 | x | + | 287 500 |
| x | − | 1 | = | 287 250 | x | + | 287 500 |
| x | − | 287 250 | x | = | 287 500 | + | 1 |
| - | 37 250 | x | = | 287 500 | + | 1 |
| - | 37 250 | x | = | 787 500 |
| - | 787 500 | = | 37 250 | x |
37 250 | x | = | - | 787 500 |
| x | = | - | 787 500 | ÷ | 37 250 |
| = | - | 787 500 | × | 250 37 |
| = | - | 787 2 | × | 1 37 |
| x | = | - | 787 74 |
| x | = | - 10.635135 |
