| 4 | x | + | 18 | ( | 11 50 | − | x | ) | = | 11 50 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 | x | + | 18 | × | 11 50 | − | 18 | x |
| = | 4 | x | + | 99 25 | − | 18 | x |
| = | - | 14 | x | + | 99 25 |
| - | 14 | x | + | 99 25 | = | 11 50 |
| - | 14 | x | = | 11 50 | − | 99 25 |
| - | 14 | x | = | - | 187 50 |
187 50 | = | 14 | x |
| 14 | x | = | 187 50 |
| x | = | 187 50 | ÷ | 14 |
| = | 187 50 | × | 1 14 |
| x | = | 187 700 |
| x | = | 0.267143 |
