| ( | 57 2 | ( | 1 | + | 20 100 | ) | ) | + | ( | 5 100 | x | ) | = | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 57 2 | ( | 1 | + | 20 100 | ) | + | ( | 5 100 | x | ) |
| = | 57 2 | × | 1 | + | 57 2 | × | 20 100 | + | ( | 5 100 | x | ) |
| = | 57 2 | + | 57 10 | + | ( | 5 100 | x | ) |
| = | 171 5 | + | ( | 5 100 | x | ) |
| = | 171 5 | + | 5 100 | x |
171 5 | + | 5 100 | x | = | x |
5 100 | x | − | x | = | - | 171 5 |
| - | 19 20 | x | = | - | 171 5 |
171 5 | = | 19 20 | x |
19 20 | x | = | 171 5 |
| x | = | 171 5 | ÷ | 19 20 |
| = | 171 5 | × | 20 19 |
| = | 9 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 36 |
