| ( | 100000 | + | x | ) | × | 3 | = | 10 | x | + | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 100000 | × | 3 | + | x | × | 3 |
| = | 300000 | + | x | × | 3 |
| 300000 | + | 3 | x | = | 10 | x | + | 1 |
| 3 | x | − | 10 | x | = | 1 | − | 300000 |
| - | 7 | x | = | 1 | − | 300000 |
| - | 7 | x | = | - | 299999 |
| 299999 | = | 7 | x |
| 7 | x | = | 299999 |
| x | = | 299999 | ÷ | 7 |
| = | 299999 | × | 1 7 |
| = | 42857 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 42857 |
