| X | − | ( | X | × | 1 10 | ) | − | ( | X | × | 1 5 | ) | − | 7 | = | 270 |
| Left side of the equation = | X | − | X | × | 1 10 | − | ( | X | × | 1 5 | ) | − | 7 |
| = | 9 10 | X | − | ( | X | × | 1 5 | ) | − | 7 |
| = | 9 10 | X | − | X | × | 1 5 | − | 7 |
| = | 7 10 | X | − | 7 |
7 10 | X | − | 7 | = | 270 |
7 10 | X | = | 270 | + | 7 |
7 10 | X | = | 277 |
| X | = | 277 | ÷ | 7 10 |
| = | 277 | × | 10 7 |
| X | = | 2770 7 |
| X | = | 395.714286 |
