| ( | x | ÷ | 1 2 | ) | − | ( | 4 25 | − | 1 10 | x | ÷ | 3 100 | ) | = | 8 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | ÷ | 1 2 | − | ( | 4 25 | − | 1 10 | x | ÷ | 3 100 | ) |
| = | 2 | x | − | 4 25 | + | 1 10 | x | ÷ | 3 100 |
| = | 2 | x | − | 4 25 | + | 10 3 | x |
| = | 16 3 | x | − | 4 25 |
16 3 | x | − | 4 25 | = | 8 |
16 3 | x | = | 8 | + | 4 25 |
16 3 | x | = | 204 25 |
| x | = | 204 25 | ÷ | 16 3 |
| = | 204 25 | × | 3 16 |
| = | 51 25 | × | 3 4 |
| x | = | 153 100 |
| x | = | 1.53 |
