| 155 | − | x | + | 1 | = | x | ( | 1 | − | 5 100 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 156 | − | x |
| 156 | − | x | = | x | ( | 1 | − | 5 100 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 1 | − | x | × | 5 100 |
| = | 19 20 | x |
| 156 | − | x | = | 19 20 | x |
| - | x | − | 19 20 | x | = | - | 156 |
| - | 39 20 | x | = | - | 156 |
| 156 | = | 39 20 | x |
39 20 | x | = | 156 |
| x | = | 156 | ÷ | 39 20 |
| = | 156 | × | 20 39 |
| = | 4 | × | 20 |
| x | = | 80 |
