283 125 | ( | X | − | 17 100 | ) | = | 1249 250 | ( | 9 50 | − | X | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 283 125 | X | − | 283 125 | × | 17 100 |
| = | 283 125 | X | − | 4811 12500 |
283 125 | X | − | 4811 12500 | = | 1249 250 | ( | 9 50 | − | X | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1249 250 | × | 9 50 | − | 1249 250 | X |
| = | 11241 12500 | − | 1249 250 | X |
283 125 | X | − | 4811 12500 | = | 11241 12500 | − | 1249 250 | X |
283 125 | X | + | 1249 250 | X | = | 11241 12500 | + | 4811 12500 |
363 50 | X | = | 11241 12500 | + | 4811 12500 |
363 50 | X | = | 4013 3125 |
| X | = | 4013 3125 | ÷ | 363 50 |
| = | 4013 3125 | × | 50 363 |
| = | 4013 125 | × | 2 363 |
| X | = | 8026 45375 |
