| 1916 | x | = | 7 10 | ( | 1916 | x | + | ( | 1749 10 | − | x | ) | × | 731 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 7 10 | × | 1916 | x | + | 7 10 | ( | 1749 10 | − | x | ) | × | 731 |
| = | 6706 5 | x | + | 5117 10 | ( | 1749 10 | − | x | ) |
| = | 6706 5 | x | + | 5117 10 | × | 1749 10 | − | 5117 10 | x |
| = | 6706 5 | x | + | 8949633 100 | − | 5117 10 | x |
| = | 1659 2 | x | + | 8949633 100 |
| 1916 | x | = | 1659 2 | x | + | 8949633 100 |
| 1916 | x | − | 1659 2 | x | = | 8949633 100 |
2173 2 | x | = | 8949633 100 |
| x | = | 8949633 100 | ÷ | 2173 2 |
| = | 8949633 100 | × | 2 2173 |
| = | 8949633 50 | × | 1 2173 |
| x | = | 8949633 108650 |
| x | = | 168861 2050 |
| x | = | 82.37122 |
