Ah, The calculation uses lower case x where it should have used upper X, never mind you get the drift I am sure.
For the avoidance of confusion an asterisk is used for multiplication.
If I had written it by hand I would have use lower case x for the unknown and an upper case X for multiplication. Thus are the problems with computers.
