| ( | x | + | 2 | ) | × | 5 | ÷ | 8 | × | x | = | 5 | ÷ | 7 | × | x |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | × | 5 8 | x |
| ( | x | + | 2 | ) | × | 5 8 | x | = | 5 | ÷ | 7 | × | x |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 5 8 | x | + | 2 | × | 5 8 | x |
| = | x | × | 5 8 | x | + | 5 4 | x |
| x | × | 5 8 | x | + | 5 4 | x | = | 5 | ÷ | 7 | × | x |
