| ( | 13 | ( | 1 | + | 20 100 | ) | ) | + | ( | 3 100 | x | ) | = | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 13 | ( | 1 | + | 20 100 | ) | + | ( | 3 100 | x | ) |
| = | 13 | × | 1 | + | 13 | × | 20 100 | + | ( | 3 100 | x | ) |
| = | 13 | + | 13 5 | + | ( | 3 100 | x | ) |
| = | 78 5 | + | ( | 3 100 | x | ) |
| = | 78 5 | + | 3 100 | x |
78 5 | + | 3 100 | x | = | x |
3 100 | x | − | x | = | - | 78 5 |
| - | 97 100 | x | = | - | 78 5 |
78 5 | = | 97 100 | x |
97 100 | x | = | 78 5 |
| x | = | 78 5 | ÷ | 97 100 |
| = | 78 5 | × | 100 97 |
| = | 78 | × | 20 97 |
| x | = | 1560 97 |
| x | = | 16.082474 |
