| x | + | 8 5 | ( | 16 100 | − | x | ) | = | 22 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | + | 8 5 | × | 16 100 | − | 8 5 | x |
| = | x | + | 32 125 | − | 8 5 | x |
| = | - | 3 5 | x | + | 32 125 |
| - | 3 5 | x | + | 32 125 | = | 22 100 |
| - | 3 5 | x | = | 22 100 | − | 32 125 |
| - | 3 5 | x | = | - | 9 250 |
9 250 | = | 3 5 | x |
3 5 | x | = | 9 250 |
| x | = | 9 250 | ÷ | 3 5 |
| = | 9 250 | × | 5 3 |
| = | 3 50 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 3 50 |
| x | = | 0.06 |
