| ( | 272 5 | − | x | ) | × | 3 4 | = | 397 1000 | ( | x | − | 31 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 272 5 | × | 3 4 | − | x | × | 3 4 |
| = | 204 5 | − | x | × | 3 4 |
204 5 | − | 3 4 | x | = | 397 1000 | ( | x | − | 31 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 397 1000 | x | − | 397 1000 | × | 31 |
| = | 397 1000 | x | − | 12307 1000 |
