| 79 | x | + | 317 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 285 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | 79 | x | + | 317 | × | 1 | − | 317 | x |
| = | 79 | x | + | 317 | − | 317 | x |
| = | - | 238 | x | + | 317 |
| - | 238 | x | + | 317 | = | 285 4 |
| - | 238 | x | = | 285 4 | − | 317 |
| - | 238 | x | = | - | 983 4 |
983 4 | = | 238 | x |
| 238 | x | = | 983 4 |
| x | = | 983 4 | ÷ | 238 |
| = | 983 4 | × | 1 238 |
| x | = | 983 952 |
| x | = | 1.032563 |
