| 9 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 2 | = | 324 25 |
| Left side of the equation = | 18 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| 18 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | = | 324 25 |
| Left side of the equation = | 18 | × | 1 | + | 18 | x |
| = | 18 | + | 18 | x |
| 18 | + | 18 | x | = | 324 25 |
| 18 | x | = | 324 25 | − | 18 |
| 18 | x | = | - | 126 25 |
| x | = | - | 126 25 | ÷ | 18 |
| = | - | 126 25 | × | 1 18 |
| = | - | 7 25 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 7 25 |
| x | = | - 0.28 |
