28 25 | x | = | 8 5 | × | 40 | + | 22 25 | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 64 | + | 22 25 | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
28 25 | x | = | 64 | + | 22 25 | ( | x | − | 40 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 64 | + | 22 25 | x | − | 22 25 | × | 40 |
| = | 64 | + | 22 25 | x | − | 176 5 |
| = | 144 5 | + | 22 25 | x |
28 25 | x | = | 144 5 | + | 22 25 | x |
28 25 | x | − | 22 25 | x | = | 144 5 |
6 25 | x | = | 144 5 |
| x | = | 144 5 | ÷ | 6 25 |
| = | 144 5 | × | 25 6 |
| = | 24 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 120 |
