| 700 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 2 | = | 1008 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1400 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| 1400 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | = | 1008 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1400 | × | 1 | + | 1400 | x |
| = | 1400 | + | 1400 | x |
| 1400 | + | 1400 | x | = | 1008 |
| 1400 | x | = | 1008 | − | 1400 |
| 1400 | x | = | - | 392 |
| x | = | - | 392 | ÷ | 1400 |
| = | - | 392 | × | 1 1400 |
| = | - | 7 | × | 1 25 |
| x | = | - | 7 25 |
| x | = | - 0.28 |
