| ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ( | 18 | ÷ | 19 | × | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 19 | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | ( | 18 | ÷ | 19 | × | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 19 | ) | + | x | ( | 18 | ÷ | 19 | × | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 19 | ) |
| = | 1 | × | 18 | ÷ | 19 | × | x | + | 1 | × | 1 | ÷ | 19 | + | x | ( | 18 | ÷ | 19 | × | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 19 | ) |
| = | 18 19 | x | + | 1 19 | + | x | ( | 18 | ÷ | 19 | × | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 19 | ) |
| = | 18 19 | x | + | 1 19 | + | x | × | 18 | ÷ | 19 | × | x | + | x | × | 1 | ÷ | 19 |
| = | 18 19 | x | + | 1 19 | + | x | × | 18 19 | x | + | x | × | 1 19 |
| = | 1 | x | + | 1 19 | + | x | × | 18 19 | x |
