| 2000 | × | 3 25 | = | 2800 | − | x | × | 1 10 | × | 2800 |
| Left side of the equation = | 240 |
| 240 | = | 2800 | − | x | × | 1 10 | × | 2800 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2800 | − | x | × | 280 |
| 240 | = | 2800 | − | 280 | x |
| 280 | x | = | 2800 | − | 240 |
| 280 | x | = | 2560 |
| x | = | 2560 | ÷ | 280 |
| = | 2560 | × | 1 280 |
| = | 64 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 64 7 |
| x | = | 9.142857 |
