| 24 | X | − | 11 | ( | X | − | 37 1000 | ) | = | 149 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 24 | X | − | 11 | X | + | 11 | × | 37 1000 |
| = | 24 | X | − | 11 | X | + | 407 1000 |
| = | 13 | X | + | 407 1000 |
| 13 | X | + | 407 1000 | = | 149 100 |
| 13 | X | = | 149 100 | − | 407 1000 |
| 13 | X | = | 1083 1000 |
| X | = | 1083 1000 | ÷ | 13 |
| = | 1083 1000 | × | 1 13 |
| X | = | 1083 13000 |
| X | = | 0.083308 |
