| 35 | x | + | 37 | ( | 100 | − | x | ) | = | 709 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 35 | x | + | 37 | × | 100 | − | 37 | x |
| = | 35 | x | + | 3700 | − | 37 | x |
| = | - | 2 | x | + | 3700 |
| - | 2 | x | + | 3700 | = | 709 20 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 709 20 | − | 3700 |
| - | 2 | x | = | - | 73291 20 |
73291 20 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | 73291 20 |
| x | = | 73291 20 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 73291 20 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 73291 40 |
| x | = | 1832.275 |
