| 5 | − | 21 | ÷ | 71 | × | x | = | 15 | ÷ | 19 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | − | 21 71 | x |
| 5 | − | 21 71 | x | = | 15 | ÷ | 19 |
| Right side of the equation = | 15 19 |
| 5 | − | 21 71 | x | = | 15 19 |
| - | 21 71 | x | = | 15 19 | − | 5 |
| - | 21 71 | x | = | - | 80 19 |
80 19 | = | 21 71 | x |
21 71 | x | = | 80 19 |
| x | = | 80 19 | ÷ | 21 71 |
| = | 80 19 | × | 71 21 |
| x | = | 5680 399 |
| x | = | 14.235589 |
