| x | = | ( | 3 | x | − | 12 | − | 1 | ) | × | 333 1000 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | x | × | 333 1000 | − | 12 | × | 333 1000 | − | 1 | × | 333 1000 |
| = | 999 1000 | x | − | 999 250 | − | 333 1000 |
| = | 999 1000 | x | − | 4329 1000 |
| x | = | 999 1000 | x | − | 4329 1000 |
| x | − | 999 1000 | x | = | - | 4329 1000 |
1 1000 | x | = | - | 4329 1000 |
| x | = | - | 4329 1000 | ÷ | 1 1000 |
| = | - | 4329 1000 | × | 1000 |
| = | - | 4329 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 4329 |
