| 200 | ( | 15 100 | − | X | ) | = | 100 | ( | X | − | 10 100 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 200 | × | 15 100 | − | 200 | X |
| = | 30 | − | 200 | X |
| 30 | − | 200 | X | = | 100 | ( | X | − | 10 100 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 100 | X | − | 100 | × | 10 100 |
| = | 100 | X | − | 10 |
| 30 | − | 200 | X | = | 100 | X | − | 10 |
| - | 200 | X | − | 100 | X | = | - | 10 | − | 30 |
| - | 300 | X | = | - | 10 | − | 30 |
| - | 300 | X | = | - | 40 |
| 40 | = | 300 | X |
| 300 | X | = | 40 |
| X | = | 40 | ÷ | 300 |
| = | 40 | × | 1 300 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 15 |
| X | = | 2 15 |
| X | = | 0.133333 |
