| X | ( | 1 | − | 20 100 | ) | × | 30 100 | − | 2000 | = | X | − | 20000 |
| Left side of the equation = | X | × | 1 | × | 30 100 | − | X | × | 20 100 | × | 30 100 | − | 2000 |
| = | X | × | 3 10 | − | X | × | 3 50 | − | 2000 |
| = | 6 25 | X | − | 2000 |
6 25 | X | − | 2000 | = | X | − | 20000 |
6 25 | X | − | X | = | - | 20000 | + | 2000 |
| - | 19 25 | X | = | - | 20000 | + | 2000 |
| - | 19 25 | X | = | - | 18000 |
| 18000 | = | 19 25 | X |
19 25 | X | = | 18000 |
| X | = | 18000 | ÷ | 19 25 |
| = | 18000 | × | 25 19 |
| X | = | 450000 19 |
| X | = | 23684.210526 |
