| x | − | 17 100 | = | 11 5 | × | 18 | − | 11 5 | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 198 5 | − | 11 5 | x |
| x | − | 17 100 | = | 198 5 | − | 11 5 | x |
| x | + | 11 5 | x | = | 198 5 | + | 17 100 |
16 5 | x | = | 198 5 | + | 17 100 |
16 5 | x | = | 3977 100 |
| x | = | 3977 100 | ÷ | 16 5 |
| = | 3977 100 | × | 5 16 |
| = | 3977 20 | × | 1 16 |
| x | = | 3977 320 |
| x | = | 12.428125 |
