| 0 | = | 1400 | Q | − | ( | 400 | + | 550 | Q | ) | − | 84 | Q |
| Right side of the equation = | 1316 | Q | − | ( | 400 | + | 550 | Q | ) |
| 0 | = | 1316 | Q | − | ( | 400 | + | 550 | Q | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1316 | Q | − | 400 | − | 550 | Q |
| = | 766 | Q | − | 400 |
| 0 | = | 766 | Q | − | 400 |
| - | 766 | Q | = | - | 400 | − | 0 |
| - | 766 | Q | = | - | 400 |
| 400 | = | 766 | Q |
| 766 | Q | = | 400 |
| Q | = | 400 | ÷ | 766 |
| = | 400 | × | 1 766 |
| = | 200 | × | 1 383 |
| Q | = | 200 383 |
