| 5 | ( | 740 | + | x | ) | + | 746 | = | 43 10 | ( | 315 | + | 740 | + | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | × | 740 | + | 5 | x | + | 746 |
| = | 3700 | + | 5 | x | + | 746 |
| = | 4446 | + | 5 | x |
| 4446 | + | 5 | x | = | 43 10 | ( | 315 | + | 740 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 43 10 | × | 315 | + | 43 10 | × | 740 | + | 43 10 | x |
| = | 2709 2 | + | 3182 | + | 43 10 | x |
| = | 9073 2 | + | 43 10 | x |
| 4446 | + | 5 | x | = | 9073 2 | + | 43 10 | x |
| 5 | x | − | 43 10 | x | = | 9073 2 | − | 4446 |
7 10 | x | = | 9073 2 | − | 4446 |
7 10 | x | = | 181 2 |
| x | = | 181 2 | ÷ | 7 10 |
| = | 181 2 | × | 10 7 |
| = | 181 | × | 5 7 |
| x | = | 905 7 |
| x | = | 129.285714 |
