| ( | 49 | − | x | ) | × | 98 100 | = | 49 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 49 | × | 98 100 | − | x | × | 98 100 |
| = | 2401 50 | − | x | × | 98 100 |
2401 50 | − | 98 100 | x | = | 49 5 |
| - | 98 100 | x | = | 49 5 | − | 2401 50 |
| - | 98 100 | x | = | - | 1911 50 |
1911 50 | = | 98 100 | x |
98 100 | x | = | 1911 50 |
| x | = | 1911 50 | ÷ | 98 100 |
| = | 1911 50 | × | 100 98 |
| = | 39 | × | 2 2 |
| x | = | 39 |
