| X | − | 1 5 | X | − | 1 20 | X | − | 3 | = | 41 5 | + | 1 5 | × | 41 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 4 | X | − | 3 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 41 5 | + | 1 5 | × | 41 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 41 5 | + | 41 25 |
| = | 246 25 |
3 4 | X | − | 3 | = | 246 25 |
3 4 | X | = | 246 25 | + | 3 |
3 4 | X | = | 321 25 |
| X | = | 321 25 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 321 25 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 107 25 | × | 4 |
| X | = | 428 25 |
| X | = | 17.12 |
