| ( | 1 | − | 5 | ÷ | 1 | ) | x | = | 9 10 | + | 18 | − | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | x | − | 5 | ÷ | 1 | × | x |
| = | 1 | x | − | 5 | x |
| = | - | 4 | x |
| - | 4 | x | = | 9 10 | + | 18 | − | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 189 10 | − | x |
| - | 4 | x | = | 189 10 | − | x |
| - | 4 | x | + | x | = | 189 10 |
| - | 3 | x | = | 189 10 |
| - | 189 10 | = | 3 | x |
| 3 | x | = | - | 189 10 |
| x | = | - | 189 10 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | - | 189 10 | × | 1 3 |
| = | - | 63 10 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 63 10 |
| x | = | - 6.3 |
