| 141 | ( | 168 5 | − | x | ) | = | 17766 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 141 | × | 168 5 | − | 141 | x |
| = | 23688 5 | − | 141 | x |
23688 5 | − | 141 | x | = | 17766 5 |
| - | 141 | x | = | 17766 5 | − | 23688 5 |
| - | 141 | x | = | - | 5922 5 |
5922 5 | = | 141 | x |
| 141 | x | = | 5922 5 |
| x | = | 5922 5 | ÷ | 141 |
| = | 5922 5 | × | 1 141 |
| = | 42 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 42 5 |
| x | = | 8.4 |
