| 295 | + | x | = | 87 100 | ( | 357 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 87 100 | × | 357 | + | 87 100 | x |
| = | 31059 100 | + | 87 100 | x |
| 295 | + | x | = | 31059 100 | + | 87 100 | x |
| x | − | 87 100 | x | = | 31059 100 | − | 295 |
13 100 | x | = | 31059 100 | − | 295 |
13 100 | x | = | 1559 100 |
| x | = | 1559 100 | ÷ | 13 100 |
| = | 1559 100 | × | 100 13 |
| = | 1559 | × | 1 13 |
| x | = | 1559 13 |
| x | = | 119.923077 |
