| ( | 1 | − | 1 50 | ) | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | − | 1 | = | 1 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | − | 1 50 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | − | 1 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 | + | 1 | x | − | 1 50 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | − | 1 |
| = | 1 | + | 1 | x | − | 1 50 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | − | 1 |
| = | 0 | + | 1 | x | − | 1 50 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| = | 0 | + | 1 | x | − | 1 50 | × | 1 | − | 1 50 | x |
| = | 0 | + | 1 | x | − | 1 50 | − | 1 50 | x |
| = | - | 1 50 | + | 49 50 | x |
| - | 1 50 | + | 49 50 | x | = | 1 10 |
49 50 | x | = | 1 10 | + | 1 50 |
49 50 | x | = | 3 25 |
| x | = | 3 25 | ÷ | 49 50 |
| = | 3 25 | × | 50 49 |
| = | 3 | × | 2 49 |
| x | = | 6 49 |
| x | = | 0.122449 |
