| ( | X | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 87 100 | + | 3 | = | 3 2 | X |
| Left side of the equation = | X | × | 100 87 | + | 3 | × | 100 87 | + | 3 |
| = | X | × | 100 87 | + | 100 29 | + | 3 |
| = | 100 87 | X | + | 187 29 |
100 87 | X | + | 187 29 | = | 3 2 | X |
100 87 | X | − | 3 2 | X | = | - | 187 29 |
| - | 61 174 | X | = | - | 187 29 |
187 29 | = | 61 174 | X |
61 174 | X | = | 187 29 |
| X | = | 187 29 | ÷ | 61 174 |
| = | 187 29 | × | 174 61 |
| = | 187 | × | 6 61 |
| X | = | 1122 61 |
| X | = | 18.393443 |
