| 5842 | = | 5000 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ( | 1 | + | 13 100 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 5000 | × | 1 | ( | 1 | + | 13 100 | ) | + | 5000 | x | ( | 1 | + | 13 100 | ) |
| = | 5000 | ( | 1 | + | 13 100 | ) | + | 5000 | x | ( | 1 | + | 13 100 | ) |
| = | 5000 | × | 1 | + | 5000 | × | 13 100 | + | 5000 | x | ( | 1 | + | 13 100 | ) |
| = | 5000 | + | 650 | + | 5000 | x | ( | 1 | + | 13 100 | ) |
| = | 5650 | + | 5000 | x | ( | 1 | + | 13 100 | ) |
| = | 5650 | + | 5000 | x | × | 1 | + | 5000 | x | × | 13 100 |
| = | 5650 | + | 5000 | x | + | 650 | x |
| = | 5650 | + | 5650 | x |
| 5842 | = | 5650 | + | 5650 | x |
| - | 5650 | x | = | 5650 | − | 5842 |
| - | 5650 | x | = | - | 192 |
| 192 | = | 5650 | x |
| 5650 | x | = | 192 |
| x | = | 192 | ÷ | 5650 |
| = | 192 | × | 1 5650 |
| = | 96 | × | 1 2825 |
| x | = | 96 2825 |
| x | = | 0.033982 |
