| X | − | 1 5 | X | − | 1 20 | X | − | 3 | = | 43 | + | 1 5 | × | 43 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 4 | X | − | 3 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 43 | + | 1 5 | × | 43 |
| Right side of the equation = | 43 | + | 43 5 |
| = | 258 5 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 258 5 |
3 4 | X | = | 258 5 | + | 3 |
3 4 | X | = | 273 5 |
| X | = | 273 5 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 273 5 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 91 5 | × | 4 |
| X | = | 364 5 |
| X | = | 72.8 |
