| X | − | 1 5 | X | − | 1 20 | X | − | 3 | = | 99 10 | + | 1 5 | × | 99 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 4 | X | − | 3 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 99 10 | + | 1 5 | × | 99 10 |
| Right side of the equation = | 99 10 | + | 99 50 |
| = | 297 25 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 297 25 |
3 4 | X | = | 297 25 | + | 3 |
3 4 | X | = | 372 25 |
| X | = | 372 25 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 372 25 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 124 25 | × | 4 |
| X | = | 496 25 |
| X | = | 19.84 |
