| ( | 6000 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 10 | − | 10 | x | = | 2475 |
| Left side of the equation = | 6000 | × | 1 10 | − | x | × | 1 10 | − | 10 | x |
| = | 600 | − | x | × | 1 10 | − | 10 | x |
| = | 600 | − | 101 10 | x |
| 600 | − | 101 10 | x | = | 2475 |
| - | 101 10 | x | = | 2475 | − | 600 |
| - | 101 10 | x | = | 1875 |
| - | 1875 | = | 101 10 | x |
101 10 | x | = | - | 1875 |
| x | = | - | 1875 | ÷ | 101 10 |
| = | - | 1875 | × | 10 101 |
| x | = | - | 18750 101 |
| x | = | - 185.643564 |
