| 460 | × | 5 | + | 580 | × | 5 | + | 680 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | = | 20000 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2300 | + | 2900 | + | 680 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
| = | 5200 | + | 680 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |

| Left side of the equation = | 5200 | + | 680 | x | − | 680 | × | 10 |
| = | 5200 | + | 680 | x | − | 6800 |
| = | - | 1600 | + | 680 | x |
| - | 1600 | + | 680 | x | = | 20000 |
| 680 | x | = | 20000 | + | 1600 |
| 680 | x | = | 21600 |
| x | = | 21600 | ÷ | 680 |
| = | 21600 | × | 1 680 |
| = | 540 | × | 1 17 |
