| ( | x | − | 400 | ) | ( | 1 | − | 25 100 | ) | = | 800 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | ( | 1 | − | 25 100 | ) | − | 400 | ( | 1 | − | 25 100 | ) |
| = | x | × | 1 | − | x | × | 25 100 | − | 400 | ( | 1 | − | 25 100 | ) |
| = | 3 4 | x | − | 400 | ( | 1 | − | 25 100 | ) |
| = | 3 4 | x | − | 400 | × | 1 | + | 400 | × | 25 100 |
| = | 3 4 | x | − | 400 | + | 100 |
| = | 3 4 | x | − | 300 |
3 4 | x | − | 300 | = | 800 |
3 4 | x | = | 800 | + | 300 |
3 4 | x | = | 1100 |
| x | = | 1100 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 1100 | × | 4 3 |
| x | = | 4400 3 |
| x | = | 1466.666667 |
