| - | 3 25 | ( | x | + | 1 | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 3 25 | x | − | 3 25 | × | 1 |
| = | - | 3 25 | x | − | 3 25 |
| - | 3 25 | x | − | 3 25 | = | 1 |
| - | 3 25 | x | = | 1 | + | 3 25 |
| - | 3 25 | x | = | 28 25 |
| - | 28 25 | = | 3 25 | x |
3 25 | x | = | - | 28 25 |
| x | = | - | 28 25 | ÷ | 3 25 |
| = | - | 28 25 | × | 25 3 |
| = | - | 28 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | - | 28 3 |
| x | = | - 9.333333 |
