13441 2 | = | ( | 259 | − | x | ) | × | 287 10 | + | 94 5 | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 259 | × | 287 10 | − | x | × | 287 10 | + | 94 5 | x |
| = | 74333 10 | − | x | × | 287 10 | + | 94 5 | x |
| = | 74333 10 | − | 99 10 | x |
13441 2 | = | 74333 10 | − | 99 10 | x |
99 10 | x | = | 74333 10 | − | 13441 2 |
99 10 | x | = | 3564 5 |
| x | = | 3564 5 | ÷ | 99 10 |
| = | 3564 5 | × | 10 99 |
| = | 36 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 72 |
