| X | − | 3 20 | X | − | 1 20 | X | − | 50 | = | 82 | + | 1 10 | × | 82 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 5 | X | − | 50 |
4 5 | X | − | 50 | = | 82 | + | 1 10 | × | 82 |
| Right side of the equation = | 82 | + | 41 5 |
| = | 451 5 |
4 5 | X | − | 50 | = | 451 5 |
4 5 | X | = | 451 5 | + | 50 |
4 5 | X | = | 701 5 |
| X | = | 701 5 | ÷ | 4 5 |
| = | 701 5 | × | 5 4 |
| = | 701 | × | 1 4 |
| X | = | 701 4 |
| X | = | 175.25 |
