| 5 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 2 | = | 36 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 10 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| 10 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | = | 36 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 10 | × | 1 | + | 10 | x |
| = | 10 | + | 10 | x |
| 10 | + | 10 | x | = | 36 5 |
| 10 | x | = | 36 5 | − | 10 |
| 10 | x | = | - | 14 5 |
| x | = | - | 14 5 | ÷ | 10 |
| = | - | 14 5 | × | 1 10 |
| = | - | 7 5 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | - | 7 25 |
| x | = | - 0.28 |
