7 10 | × | 500 | + | 19 20 | x | = | 17 20 | ( | 500 | + | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 350 | + | 19 20 | x |
| 350 | + | 19 20 | x | = | 17 20 | ( | 500 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 17 20 | × | 500 | + | 17 20 | x |
| = | 425 | + | 17 20 | x |
| 350 | + | 19 20 | x | = | 425 | + | 17 20 | x |
19 20 | x | − | 17 20 | x | = | 425 | − | 350 |
1 10 | x | = | 425 | − | 350 |
1 10 | x | = | 75 |
| x | = | 75 | ÷ | 1 10 |
| = | 75 | × | 10 |
| x | = | 750 |
