| ( | 2 | x | + | 2 | ) | ÷ | 5 | + | ( | 3 | x | + | 8 | ) | ÷ | 4 | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | × | 1 5 | + | 2 | × | 1 5 | + | ( | 3 | x | + | 8 | ) | × | 1 4 |
| = | 2 5 | x | + | 2 5 | + | ( | 3 | x | + | 8 | ) | × | 1 4 |
| = | 2 5 | x | + | 2 5 | + | 3 | x | × | 1 4 | + | 8 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 2 5 | x | + | 2 5 | + | 3 4 | x | + | 2 |
| = | 23 20 | x | + | 12 5 |
23 20 | x | + | 12 5 | = | 0 |
23 20 | x | = | 0 | − | 12 5 |
23 20 | x | = | - | 12 5 |
| x | = | - | 12 5 | ÷ | 23 20 |
| = | - | 12 5 | × | 20 23 |
| = | - | 12 | × | 4 23 |
| x | = | - | 48 23 |
| x | = | - 2.086957 |
