| ( | x | − | 1401 1000 | ) | × | 500 | − | 1 10 | = | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 500 | − | 1401 1000 | × | 500 | − | 1 10 |
| = | x | × | 500 | − | 1401 2 | − | 1 10 |
| = | 500 | x | − | 3503 5 |
| 500 | x | − | 3503 5 | = | 2 |
| 500 | x | = | 2 | + | 3503 5 |
| 500 | x | = | 3513 5 |
| x | = | 3513 5 | ÷ | 500 |
| = | 3513 5 | × | 1 500 |
| x | = | 3513 2500 |
| x | = | 1.4052 |
