| ( | x | + | 4 | ) | × | 5 | ÷ | 16 | = | 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | + | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | x | + | 4 | ) | × | 5 16 |
| ( | x | + | 4 | ) | × | 5 16 | = | 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | + | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 5 16 | + | 4 | × | 5 16 |
| = | x | × | 5 16 | + | 5 4 |
5 16 | x | + | 5 4 | = | 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | + | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 4 | x | + | 4 |
5 16 | x | + | 5 4 | = | 1 4 | x | + | 4 |
5 16 | x | − | 1 4 | x | = | 4 | − | 5 4 |
1 16 | x | = | 4 | − | 5 4 |
1 16 | x | = | 11 4 |
| x | = | 11 4 | ÷ | 1 16 |
| = | 11 4 | × | 16 |
| = | 11 | × | 4 |
