| ( | 1021 1000 | − | X | ) | ÷ | 1021 1000 | = | 15 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1021 1000 | × | 1000 1021 | − | X | × | 1000 1021 |
| = | 1021 1021 | − | X | × | 1000 1021 |
1021 1021 | − | 1000 1021 | X | = | 15 100 |
| - | 1000 1021 | X | = | 15 100 | − | 1021 1021 |
| - | 1000 1021 | X | = | - | 17357 20420 |
17357 20420 | = | 1000 1021 | X |
1000 1021 | X | = | 17357 20420 |
| X | = | 17357 20420 | ÷ | 1000 1021 |
| = | 17357 20420 | × | 1021 1000 |
| X | = | 17721497 20420000 |
