| 28 | ÷ | 5 | − | x | = | 3 | ( | 5 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 28 5 | − | x |
28 5 | − | x | = | 3 | ( | 5 | − | 2 | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 5 | − | 3 | × | 2 | x |
| = | 15 | − | 6 | x |
28 5 | − | x | = | 15 | − | 6 | x |
| - | x | + | 6 | x | = | 15 | − | 28 5 |
| 5 | x | = | 15 | − | 28 5 |
| 5 | x | = | 47 5 |
| x | = | 47 5 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 47 5 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 47 25 |
| x | = | 1.88 |
