| X | − | 3 25 | ÷ | 3 25 | − | 1 10 | = | 42857 10000 | − | 20557 5000 | ÷ | 20557 5000 | − | 43553 10000 |
| Left side of the equation = | X | − | 1 | − | 1 10 |
| = | X | − | 11 10 |
| X | − | 11 10 | = | 42857 10000 | − | 20557 5000 | ÷ | 20557 5000 | − | 43553 10000 |
| Right side of the equation = | 42857 10000 | − | 1 | − | 43553 10000 |
| = | - | 1337 1250 |
| X | − | 11 10 | = | - | 1337 1250 |
| X | = | - | 1337 1250 | + | 11 10 |
