| 9 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | = | 8 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | + | 260 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 9 4 | x |
9 4 | x | = | 8 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | + | 260 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 8 5 | ( | x | + | 260 | ) |
9 4 | x | = | 8 5 | ( | x | + | 260 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 8 5 | x | + | 8 5 | × | 260 |
| = | 8 5 | x | + | 416 |
9 4 | x | = | 8 5 | x | + | 416 |
9 4 | x | − | 8 5 | x | = | 416 |
13 20 | x | = | 416 |
| x | = | 416 | ÷ | 13 20 |
| = | 416 | × | 20 13 |
| = | 32 | × | 20 |
| x | = | 640 |
