| 1 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | + | 2 5 | ) | = | 5 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 5 | ( | x | + | 2 5 | ) |
1 5 | ( | x | + | 2 5 | ) | = | 5 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 5 | x | + | 1 5 | × | 2 5 |
| = | 1 5 | x | + | 2 25 |
1 5 | x | + | 2 25 | = | 5 | x |
1 5 | x | − | 5 | x | = | - | 2 25 |
| - | 24 5 | x | = | - | 2 25 |
2 25 | = | 24 5 | x |
24 5 | x | = | 2 25 |
| x | = | 2 25 | ÷ | 24 5 |
| = | 2 25 | × | 5 24 |
| = | 1 5 | × | 1 12 |
| x | = | 1 60 |
| x | = | 0.016667 |
