| ( | x | + | 260 | ) | × | 70 100 | − | x | = | 80 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 70 100 | + | 260 | × | 70 100 | − | x |
| = | x | × | 70 100 | + | 182 | − | x |
| = | - | 3 10 | x | + | 182 |
| - | 3 10 | x | + | 182 | = | 80 |
| - | 3 10 | x | = | 80 | − | 182 |
| - | 3 10 | x | = | - | 102 |
| 102 | = | 3 10 | x |
3 10 | x | = | 102 |
| x | = | 102 | ÷ | 3 10 |
| = | 102 | × | 10 3 |
| = | 34 | × | 10 |
| x | = | 340 |
