3 4 | = | 1 2 | + | ( | x | − | 40 | ) | × | 1 20 | − | ( | 10 | + | 10 | ) | × | 1 20 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 | + | x | × | 1 20 | − | 40 | × | 1 20 | − | ( | 10 | + | 10 | ) | × | 1 20 |
| = | 1 2 | + | x | × | 1 20 | − | 2 | − | ( | 10 | + | 10 | ) | × | 1 20 |
| = | - | 3 2 | + | 1 20 | x | − | ( | 10 | + | 10 | ) | × | 1 20 |
| = | - | 3 2 | + | 1 20 | x | − | 10 | × | 1 20 | − | 10 | × | 1 20 |
| = | - | 3 2 | + | 1 20 | x | − | 1 2 | − | 1 2 |
| = | - | 5 2 | + | 1 20 | x |
3 4 | = | - | 5 2 | + | 1 20 | x |
| - | 1 20 | x | = | - | 5 2 | − | 3 4 |
| - | 1 20 | x | = | - | 13 4 |
13 4 | = | 1 20 | x |
1 20 | x | = | 13 4 |
| x | = | 13 4 | ÷ | 1 20 |
| = | 13 4 | × | 20 |
| = | 13 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 65 |
