| ( | 688 | + | x | ) | × | 43 50 | = | 382 | + | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 688 | × | 43 50 | + | x | × | 43 50 |
| = | 14792 25 | + | x | × | 43 50 |
14792 25 | + | 43 50 | x | = | 382 | + | x |
43 50 | x | − | x | = | 382 | − | 14792 25 |
| - | 7 50 | x | = | 382 | − | 14792 25 |
| - | 7 50 | x | = | - | 5242 25 |
5242 25 | = | 7 50 | x |
7 50 | x | = | 5242 25 |
| x | = | 5242 25 | ÷ | 7 50 |
| = | 5242 25 | × | 50 7 |
| = | 5242 | × | 2 7 |
| x | = | 10484 7 |
| x | = | 1497.714286 |
