279 10 | x | + | 289 10 | ( | 176 | − | x | ) | = | 25002 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 279 10 | x | + | 289 10 | × | 176 | − | 289 10 | x |
| = | 279 10 | x | + | 25432 5 | − | 289 10 | x |
| = | - | 1 | x | + | 25432 5 |
| - | 1 | x | + | 25432 5 | = | 25002 5 |
| - | 1 | x | = | 25002 5 | − | 25432 5 |
| - | x | = | 25002 5 | − | 25432 5 |
| - | x | = | - | 86 |
| 86 | = | x |
| x | = | 86 |
