| 720 | x | + | 830 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 784 |
| Left side of the equation = | 720 | x | + | 830 | × | 1 | − | 830 | x |
| = | 720 | x | + | 830 | − | 830 | x |
| = | - | 110 | x | + | 830 |
| - | 110 | x | + | 830 | = | 784 |
| - | 110 | x | = | 784 | − | 830 |
| - | 110 | x | = | - | 46 |
| 46 | = | 110 | x |
| 110 | x | = | 46 |
| x | = | 46 | ÷ | 110 |
| = | 46 | × | 1 110 |
| = | 23 | × | 1 55 |
| x | = | 23 55 |
| x | = | 0.418182 |
