| ( | 29 10 | − | X | ) | ÷ | X | = | 241 1000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | X |
| ( | 29 10 | − | X | ) | = | 241 1000 | X |
29 10 | − | X | = | 241 1000 | X |
| - | X | − | 241 1000 | X | = | - | 29 10 |
| - | 1241 1000 | X | = | - | 29 10 |
29 10 | = | 1241 1000 | X |
1241 1000 | X | = | 29 10 |
| X | = | 29 10 | ÷ | 1241 1000 |
| = | 29 10 | × | 1000 1241 |
| = | 29 | × | 100 1241 |
| X | = | 2900 1241 |
| X | = | 2.336825 |
