| 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 170 | − | x | ) | = | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 4 | x | − | 1 3 | ( | 170 | − | x | ) |
1 4 | x | − | 1 3 | ( | 170 | − | x | ) | = | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 4 | x | − | 1 3 | × | 170 | + | 1 3 | x |
| = | 1 4 | x | − | 170 3 | + | 1 3 | x |
| = | 7 12 | x | − | 170 3 |
7 12 | x | − | 170 3 | = | 10 |
7 12 | x | = | 10 | + | 170 3 |
7 12 | x | = | 200 3 |
| x | = | 200 3 | ÷ | 7 12 |
| = | 200 3 | × | 12 7 |
| = | 200 | × | 4 7 |
| x | = | 800 7 |
| x | = | 114.285714 |
