| 2 | = | 100 | ( | x | − | 171 | ) | ÷ | ( | x | × | 1450 | ÷ | 100 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | × | 1450 | ÷ | 100 | ) |
| 2 | ( | x | × | 1450 | ÷ | 100 | ) | = | 100 | ( | x | − | 171 | ) |
| 2 | x | × | 1450 | ÷ | 100 | = | 100 | ( | x | − | 171 | ) |
| 2 | x | × | 1450 | ÷ | 100 | = | 100 | x | − | 100 | × | 171 |
| 29 | x | = | 100 | x | − | 17100 |
| 29 | x | − | 100 | x | = | - | 17100 |
| - | 71 | x | = | - | 17100 |
| 17100 | = | 71 | x |
| 71 | x | = | 17100 |
| x | = | 17100 | ÷ | 71 |
| = | 17100 | × | 1 71 |
| x | = | 17100 71 |
| x | = | 240.84507 |
