| ( | 1 | + | x | + | 23 10 | ) | × | 3 4 | = | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 9 5 | × | 3 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | × | 3 4 | + | x | × | 3 4 | + | 23 10 | × | 3 4 |
| = | 3 4 | + | x | × | 3 4 | + | 69 40 |
| = | 99 40 | + | 3 4 | x |
99 40 | + | 3 4 | x | = | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 9 5 | × | 3 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 27 20 |
99 40 | + | 3 4 | x | = | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 27 20 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | × | 27 20 | + | x | × | 27 20 |
| = | 27 20 | + | x | × | 27 20 |
99 40 | + | 3 4 | x | = | 27 20 | + | 27 20 | x |
3 4 | x | − | 27 20 | x | = | 27 20 | − | 99 40 |
| - | 3 5 | x | = | 27 20 | − | 99 40 |
| - | 3 5 | x | = | - | 9 8 |
9 8 | = | 3 5 | x |
3 5 | x | = | 9 8 |
| x | = | 9 8 | ÷ | 3 5 |
| = | 9 8 | × | 5 3 |
| = | 3 8 | × | 5 |
