| ( | 100 | + | 399 100 | ) | x | = | 100 | + | 59 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 100 | x | + | 399 100 | x |
| = | 10399 100 | x |
10399 100 | x | = | 100 | + | 59 20 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2059 20 |
10399 100 | x | = | 2059 20 |
| x | = | 2059 20 | ÷ | 10399 100 |
| = | 2059 20 | × | 100 10399 |
| = | 2059 | × | 5 10399 |
| x | = | 10295 10399 |
