| 4 | ÷ | 9 | × | x | − | 4 | = | 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | − | 4 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 9 | x | − | 4 |
4 9 | x | − | 4 | = | 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | − | 4 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 5 | ( | x | − | 4 | ) |
4 9 | x | − | 4 | = | 2 5 | ( | x | − | 4 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 5 | x | − | 2 5 | × | 4 |
| = | 2 5 | x | − | 8 5 |
4 9 | x | − | 4 | = | 2 5 | x | − | 8 5 |
4 9 | x | − | 2 5 | x | = | - | 8 5 | + | 4 |
2 45 | x | = | - | 8 5 | + | 4 |
2 45 | x | = | 12 5 |
| x | = | 12 5 | ÷ | 2 45 |
| = | 12 5 | × | 45 2 |
| = | 6 | × | 9 |
| x | = | 54 |
