| X | − | 1 5 | X | − | 1 20 | X | − | 3 | = | 49 | + | 1 5 | × | 49 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 4 | X | − | 3 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 49 | + | 1 5 | × | 49 |
| Right side of the equation = | 49 | + | 49 5 |
| = | 294 5 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 294 5 |
3 4 | X | = | 294 5 | + | 3 |
3 4 | X | = | 309 5 |
| X | = | 309 5 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 309 5 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 103 5 | × | 4 |
| X | = | 412 5 |
| X | = | 82.4 |
