98 5 | ( | 2 5 | + | x | ) | = | 980 | x | × | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 98 5 | × | 2 5 | + | 98 5 | x |
| = | 196 25 | + | 98 5 | x |
196 25 | + | 98 5 | x | = | 980 | x | × | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1960 | x |
196 25 | + | 98 5 | x | = | 1960 | x |
98 5 | x | − | 1960 | x | = | - | 196 25 |
| - | 9702 5 | x | = | - | 196 25 |
196 25 | = | 9702 5 | x |
9702 5 | x | = | 196 25 |
| x | = | 196 25 | ÷ | 9702 5 |
| = | 196 25 | × | 5 9702 |
| = | 2 5 | × | 1 99 |
| x | = | 2 495 |
| x | = | 0.00404 |
