1 20 | ( | 830 | − | x | ) | − | 3 50 | x | = | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 20 | × | 830 | − | 1 20 | x | − | 3 50 | x |
| = | 83 2 | − | 1 20 | x | − | 3 50 | x |
| = | 83 2 | − | 11 100 | x |
83 2 | − | 11 100 | x | = | 3 |
| - | 11 100 | x | = | 3 | − | 83 2 |
| - | 11 100 | x | = | - | 77 2 |
77 2 | = | 11 100 | x |
11 100 | x | = | 77 2 |
| x | = | 77 2 | ÷ | 11 100 |
| = | 77 2 | × | 100 11 |
| = | 7 | × | 50 |
| x | = | 350 |
