| 1000000 | = | 300 | q | − | 120 | q | − | 280 | − | 40 | q |
| Right side of the equation = | 140 | q | − | 280 |
| 1000000 | = | 140 | q | − | 280 |
| - | 140 | q | = | - | 280 | − | 1000000 |
| - | 140 | q | = | - | 1000280 |
| 1000280 | = | 140 | q |
| 140 | q | = | 1000280 |
| q | = | 1000280 | ÷ | 140 |
| = | 1000280 | × | 1 140 |
| = | 50014 | × | 1 7 |
| q | = | 50014 7 |
| q | = | 7144.857143 |
