| X | − | 1 5 | X | − | 1 20 | X | − | 3 | = | 214 5 | + | 1 5 | × | 214 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 4 | X | − | 3 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 214 5 | + | 1 5 | × | 214 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 214 5 | + | 214 25 |
| = | 1284 25 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 1284 25 |
3 4 | X | = | 1284 25 | + | 3 |
3 4 | X | = | 1359 25 |
| X | = | 1359 25 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 1359 25 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 453 25 | × | 4 |
| X | = | 1812 25 |
