427 25 | x | + | 461 100 | ( | 16 | − | x | ) | = | 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 427 25 | x | + | 461 100 | × | 16 | − | 461 100 | x |
| = | 427 25 | x | + | 1844 25 | − | 461 100 | x |
| = | 1247 100 | x | + | 1844 25 |
1247 100 | x | + | 1844 25 | = | 100 |
1247 100 | x | = | 100 | − | 1844 25 |
1247 100 | x | = | 656 25 |
| x | = | 656 25 | ÷ | 1247 100 |
| = | 656 25 | × | 100 1247 |
| = | 656 | × | 4 1247 |
| x | = | 2624 1247 |
| x | = | 2.10425 |
