| ( | 17 10 | − | 2 | x | ) | ÷ | 3 10 | = | x | ÷ | 7 10 | − | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 17 10 | × | 10 3 | − | 2 | x | × | 10 3 |
| = | 17 3 | − | 20 3 | x |
17 3 | − | 20 3 | x | = | x | ÷ | 7 10 | − | 1 |
| - | 20 3 | x | − | 10 7 | x | = | - | 1 | − | 17 3 |
| - | 170 21 | x | = | - | 1 | − | 17 3 |
| - | 170 21 | x | = | - | 20 3 |
20 3 | = | 170 21 | x |
170 21 | x | = | 20 3 |
| x | = | 20 3 | ÷ | 170 21 |
| = | 20 3 | × | 21 170 |
| = | 2 | × | 7 17 |
| x | = | 14 17 |
| x | = | 0.823529 |
