| ( | 1 | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | 10 | ) | ) | x | ( | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) | = | 270 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | x | ( | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | 10 | ) | x | ( | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) |
| = | 1 | x | × | 9 | ÷ | 10 | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | 10 | ) | x | ( | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) |
| = | 9 10 | x | + | ( | 2 | ÷ | 10 | ) | x | ( | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) |
| = | 9 10 | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 10 | × | x | ( | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) |
| = | 9 10 | x | + | 1 5 | x | ( | 9 | ÷ | 10 | ) |
| = | 9 10 | x | + | 1 5 | x | × | 9 | ÷ | 10 |
| = | 9 10 | x | + | 9 50 | x |
| = | 27 25 | x |
27 25 | x | = | 270 |
| x | = | 270 | ÷ | 27 25 |
| = | 270 | × | 25 27 |
| = | 10 | × | 25 |
| x | = | 250 |
