5 2 | x | + | ( | 60 | − | x | − | 10 | ) | × | 5 | = | 200 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 2 | x | + | 60 | × | 5 | − | x | × | 5 | − | 10 | × | 5 |
| = | 5 2 | x | + | 300 | − | x | × | 5 | − | 50 |
| = | - | 5 2 | x | + | 250 |
| - | 5 2 | x | + | 250 | = | 200 |
| - | 5 2 | x | = | 200 | − | 250 |
| - | 5 2 | x | = | - | 50 |
| 50 | = | 5 2 | x |
5 2 | x | = | 50 |
| x | = | 50 | ÷ | 5 2 |
| = | 50 | × | 2 5 |
| = | 10 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 20 |
