| ( | 893 1000 | − | x | ) | × | 100 | + | 1 5 | = | 1079 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 893 1000 | × | 100 | − | x | × | 100 | + | 1 5 |
| = | 893 10 | − | x | × | 100 | + | 1 5 |
| = | 179 2 | − | 100 | x |
179 2 | − | 100 | x | = | 1079 10 |
| - | 100 | x | = | 1079 10 | − | 179 2 |
| - | 100 | x | = | 92 5 |
| - | 92 5 | = | 100 | x |
| 100 | x | = | - | 92 5 |
| x | = | - | 92 5 | ÷ | 100 |
| = | - | 92 5 | × | 1 100 |
| = | - | 23 5 | × | 1 25 |
| x | = | - | 23 125 |
| x | = | - 0.184 |
