40 100 | + | 3 | = | 60 100 | ( | 450 | − | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 17 5 |
17 5 | = | 60 100 | ( | 450 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 60 100 | × | 450 | − | 60 100 | x |
| = | 270 | − | 60 100 | x |
17 5 | = | 270 | − | 60 100 | x |
60 100 | x | = | 270 | − | 17 5 |
60 100 | x | = | 1333 5 |
| x | = | 1333 5 | ÷ | 60 100 |
| = | 1333 5 | × | 100 60 |
| = | 1333 | × | 20 60 |
| x | = | 26660 60 |
| x | = | 1333 3 |
| x | = | 444.333333 |
