| X | − | 1 5 | X | − | 1 20 | X | − | 3 | = | 57 | + | 1 5 | × | 57 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 4 | X | − | 3 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 57 | + | 1 5 | × | 57 |
| Right side of the equation = | 57 | + | 57 5 |
| = | 342 5 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 342 5 |
3 4 | X | = | 342 5 | + | 3 |
3 4 | X | = | 357 5 |
| X | = | 357 5 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 357 5 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 119 5 | × | 4 |
| X | = | 476 5 |
| X | = | 95.2 |
