| 99 | × | 3 10 | + | 99 | × | 49 100 | + | x | × | 21 100 | = | 97 |
| Left side of the equation = | 297 10 | + | 4851 100 | + | x | × | 21 100 |
| = | 7821 100 | + | 21 100 | x |
7821 100 | + | 21 100 | x | = | 97 |
21 100 | x | = | 97 | − | 7821 100 |
21 100 | x | = | 1879 100 |
| x | = | 1879 100 | ÷ | 21 100 |
| = | 1879 100 | × | 100 21 |
| = | 1879 | × | 1 21 |
| x | = | 1879 21 |
| x | = | 89.47619 |
