| 1000000 | = | 300 | q | − | 120 | q | − | 2800000 | − | 40 | q |
| Right side of the equation = | 140 | q | − | 2800000 |
| 1000000 | = | 140 | q | − | 2800000 |
| - | 140 | q | = | - | 2800000 | − | 1000000 |
| - | 140 | q | = | - | 3800000 |
| 3800000 | = | 140 | q |
| 140 | q | = | 3800000 |
| q | = | 3800000 | ÷ | 140 |
| = | 3800000 | × | 1 140 |
| = | 190000 | × | 1 7 |
| q | = | 190000 7 |
| q | = | 27142.857143 |
