9 5 | − | 3 5 | ( | x | + | 1 5 | ) | = | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 9 5 | − | 3 5 | x | − | 3 5 | × | 1 5 |
| = | 9 5 | − | 3 5 | x | − | 3 25 |
| = | 42 25 | − | 3 5 | x |
42 25 | − | 3 5 | x | = | x |
| - | 3 5 | x | − | x | = | - | 42 25 |
| - | 8 5 | x | = | - | 42 25 |
42 25 | = | 8 5 | x |
8 5 | x | = | 42 25 |
| x | = | 42 25 | ÷ | 8 5 |
| = | 42 25 | × | 5 8 |
| = | 21 5 | × | 1 4 |
| x | = | 21 20 |
| x | = | 1.05 |
