| x | − | 200 | × | 9 10 | − | 4 5 | ( | x | − | 200 | ) | + | 72 | ÷ | 9 10 | − | 72 | = | 34 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | 180 | − | 4 5 | ( | x | − | 200 | ) | + | 80 | − | 72 |
| = | x | − | 172 | − | 4 5 | ( | x | − | 200 | ) |
| x | − | 172 | − | 4 5 | ( | x | − | 200 | ) | = | 34 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | 172 | − | 4 5 | x | + | 4 5 | × | 200 |
| = | x | − | 172 | − | 4 5 | x | + | 160 |
| = | 1 5 | x | − | 12 |
1 5 | x | − | 12 | = | 34 |
1 5 | x | = | 34 | + | 12 |
1 5 | x | = | 46 |
| x | = | 46 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 46 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 230 |
