| 98 | + | 98 | ÷ | 8 | × | x | = | 97 | + | 97 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 98 | + | 49 4 | x |
| 98 | + | 49 4 | x | = | 97 | + | 97 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 97 | + | 97 4 | x |
| 98 | + | 49 4 | x | = | 97 | + | 97 4 | x |
49 4 | x | − | 97 4 | x | = | 97 | − | 98 |
| - | 12 | x | = | 97 | − | 98 |
| - | 12 | x | = | - | 1 |
| 1 | = | 12 | x |
| 12 | x | = | 1 |
| x | = | 1 | ÷ | 12 |
