| ( | 77 2 | − | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 255 | − | x | ) | = | 1 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 255 | − | x | ) |
| ( | 77 2 | − | x | ) | = | 1 10 | ( | 255 | − | x | ) |
77 2 | − | x | = | 1 10 | ( | 255 | − | x | ) |
77 2 | − | x | = | 1 10 | × | 255 | − | 1 10 | x |
77 2 | − | x | = | 51 2 | − | 1 10 | x |
| - | x | + | 1 10 | x | = | 51 2 | − | 77 2 |
| - | 9 10 | x | = | 51 2 | − | 77 2 |
| - | 9 10 | x | = | - | 13 |
| 13 | = | 9 10 | x |
9 10 | x | = | 13 |
| x | = | 13 | ÷ | 9 10 |
| = | 13 | × | 10 9 |
| x | = | 130 9 |
| x | = | 14.444444 |
