| 17 | x | × | 17 | + | ( | 24 | − | x | ) | = | 1 | + | x | × | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 289 | x | + | ( | 24 | − | x | ) |
| 289 | x | + | ( | 24 | − | x | ) | = | 1 | + | x | × | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 289 | x | + | 24 | − | x |
| = | 288 | x | + | 24 |
| 288 | x | + | 24 | = | 1 | + | x | × | 2 |
| 288 | x | − | 2 | x | = | 1 | − | 24 |
| 286 | x | = | 1 | − | 24 |
| 286 | x | = | - | 23 |
| x | = | - | 23 | ÷ | 286 |
