| 2220 | x | + | ( | 5 | − | x | ) | × | 2858 5 | = | 3847 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2220 | x | + | 5 | × | 2858 5 | − | x | × | 2858 5 |
| = | 2220 | x | + | 2858 | − | x | × | 2858 5 |
| = | 8242 5 | x | + | 2858 |
8242 5 | x | + | 2858 | = | 3847 |
8242 5 | x | = | 3847 | − | 2858 |
8242 5 | x | = | 989 |
| x | = | 989 | ÷ | 8242 5 |
| = | 989 | × | 5 8242 |
| x | = | 4945 8242 |
| x | = | 0.599976 |
