| 5 | x | ( | 2 | − | 157 50 | ) | = | 2 | ( | x | − | 6 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | x | × | 2 | − | 5 | x | × | 157 50 |
| = | 10 | x | − | 157 10 | x |
| = | - | 57 10 | x |
| - | 57 10 | x | = | 2 | ( | x | − | 6 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | x | − | 2 | × | 6 |
| = | 2 | x | − | 12 |
| - | 57 10 | x | = | 2 | x | − | 12 |
| - | 57 10 | x | − | 2 | x | = | - | 12 |
| - | 77 10 | x | = | - | 12 |
| 12 | = | 77 10 | x |
77 10 | x | = | 12 |
| x | = | 12 | ÷ | 77 10 |
| = | 12 | × | 10 77 |
| x | = | 120 77 |
| x | = | 1.558442 |
