| 45 | ÷ | ( | 255 | + | x | ) | = | 10 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 255 | + | x | ) |
| 45 | = | 10 100 | ( | 255 | + | x | ) |
| 45 | = | 10 100 | × | 255 | + | 10 100 | x |
| 45 | = | 51 2 | + | 10 100 | x |
| - | 10 100 | x | = | 51 2 | − | 45 |
| - | 10 100 | x | = | - | 39 2 |
39 2 | = | 10 100 | x |
10 100 | x | = | 39 2 |
| x | = | 39 2 | ÷ | 10 100 |
| = | 39 2 | × | 100 10 |
| = | 39 | × | 50 10 |
| x | = | 1950 10 |
| x | = | 195 |
