| 100 | ÷ | ( | x | − | 100 | ) | = | 7 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | − | 100 | ) |
| 100 | = | 7 10 | ( | x | − | 100 | ) |
| 100 | = | 7 10 | x | − | 7 10 | × | 100 |
| 100 | = | 7 10 | x | − | 70 |
| - | 7 10 | x | = | - | 70 | − | 100 |
| - | 7 10 | x | = | - | 170 |
| 170 | = | 7 10 | x |
7 10 | x | = | 170 |
| x | = | 170 | ÷ | 7 10 |
| = | 170 | × | 10 7 |
| x | = | 1700 7 |
| x | = | 242.857143 |
