| ( | x | − | 483 500 | ) | × | 1000 | − | 1 10 | = | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1000 | − | 483 500 | × | 1000 | − | 1 10 |
| = | x | × | 1000 | − | 966 | − | 1 10 |
| = | 1000 | x | − | 9661 10 |
| 1000 | x | − | 9661 10 | = | 3 |
| 1000 | x | = | 3 | + | 9661 10 |
| 1000 | x | = | 9691 10 |
| x | = | 9691 10 | ÷ | 1000 |
| = | 9691 10 | × | 1 1000 |
| x | = | 9691 10000 |
| x | = | 0.9691 |
