| 28 | ( | 70 | ÷ | ( | 70 | − | x | ) | ) | ( | 26 5 | − | 1 10 | x | ) | = | 146 |
| 28 | × | 70 | ÷ | ( | 70 | − | x | ) | × | ( | 26 5 | − | 1 10 | x | ) | = | 146 |
| 1960 | ÷ | ( | 70 | − | x | ) | × | ( | 26 5 | − | 1 10 | x | ) | = | 146 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 70 | − | x | ) |
| 1960 | ( | 26 5 | − | 1 10 | x | ) | = | 146 | ( | 70 | − | x | ) |
| 1960 | × | 26 5 | − | 1960 | × | 1 10 | x | = | 146 | ( | 70 | − | x | ) |
| 1960 | × | 26 5 | − | 1960 | × | 1 10 | x | = | 146 | × | 70 | − | 146 | x |
| 10192 | − | 196 | x | = | 10220 | − | 146 | x |
| - | 196 | x | + | 146 | x | = | 10220 | − | 10192 |
| - | 50 | x | = | 10220 | − | 10192 |
| - | 50 | x | = | 28 |
| - | 28 | = | 50 | x |
| 50 | x | = | - | 28 |
| x | = | - | 28 | ÷ | 50 |
| = | - | 28 | × | 1 50 |
| = | - | 14 | × | 1 25 |
| x | = | - | 14 25 |
