17 5 | x | + | 4053 100 | = | 77 10 | ( | x | + | 37 10 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 77 10 | x | + | 77 10 | × | 37 10 |
| = | 77 10 | x | + | 2849 100 |
17 5 | x | + | 4053 100 | = | 77 10 | x | + | 2849 100 |
17 5 | x | − | 77 10 | x | = | 2849 100 | − | 4053 100 |
| - | 43 10 | x | = | 2849 100 | − | 4053 100 |
| - | 43 10 | x | = | - | 301 25 |
301 25 | = | 43 10 | x |
43 10 | x | = | 301 25 |
| x | = | 301 25 | ÷ | 43 10 |
| = | 301 25 | × | 10 43 |
| = | 7 5 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 14 5 |
| x | = | 2.8 |
