297 10 | − | ( | 297 10 | × | 3 20 | ) | a | = | 99 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 297 10 | − | 297 10 | × | 3 20 | a |
| = | 297 10 | − | 891 200 | a |
297 10 | − | 891 200 | a | = | 99 10 |
| - | 891 200 | a | = | 99 10 | − | 297 10 |
| - | 891 200 | a | = | - | 99 5 |
99 5 | = | 891 200 | a |
891 200 | a | = | 99 5 |
| a | = | 99 5 | ÷ | 891 200 |
| = | 99 5 | × | 200 891 |
| = | 1 | × | 40 9 |
| a | = | 40 9 |
| a | = | 4.444444 |
