| 0 | = | 1400 | Q | − | ( | 400 | + | 500 | Q | ) | − | 1400 | Q | × | 3 50 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1400 | Q | − | ( | 400 | + | 500 | Q | ) | − | 84 | Q |
| = | 1316 | Q | − | ( | 400 | + | 500 | Q | ) |
| 0 | = | 1316 | Q | − | ( | 400 | + | 500 | Q | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1316 | Q | − | 400 | − | 500 | Q |
| = | 816 | Q | − | 400 |
| 0 | = | 816 | Q | − | 400 |
| - | 816 | Q | = | - | 400 | − | 0 |
| - | 816 | Q | = | - | 400 |
| 400 | = | 816 | Q |
| 816 | Q | = | 400 |
| Q | = | 400 | ÷ | 816 |
| = | 400 | × | 1 816 |
| = | 25 | × | 1 51 |
