| 50 | = | X | × | 50 100 | + | ( | 500 | − | X | ) | × | 5 100 |
| Right side of the equation = | 50 100 | X | + | 500 | × | 5 100 | − | X | × | 5 100 |
| = | 50 100 | X | + | 25 | − | X | × | 5 100 |
| = | 9 20 | X | + | 25 |
| 50 | = | 9 20 | X | + | 25 |
| - | 9 20 | X | = | 25 | − | 50 |
| - | 9 20 | X | = | - | 25 |
| 25 | = | 9 20 | X |
9 20 | X | = | 25 |
| X | = | 25 | ÷ | 9 20 |
| = | 25 | × | 20 9 |
| X | = | 500 9 |
| X | = | 55.555556 |
