| x | × | 5 | + | ( | 53 2 | − | x | ) | × | 24 5 | = | 2597 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | x | + | 53 2 | × | 24 5 | − | x | × | 24 5 |
| = | 5 | x | + | 636 5 | − | x | × | 24 5 |
| = | 1 5 | x | + | 636 5 |
1 5 | x | + | 636 5 | = | 2597 20 |
1 5 | x | = | 2597 20 | − | 636 5 |
1 5 | x | = | 53 20 |
| x | = | 53 20 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 53 20 | × | 5 |
| = | 53 4 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 53 4 |
| x | = | 13.25 |
