| 5 | x | + | 45 2 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | − | 45 2 | = | 5 | ÷ | 7 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | x | + | 45 8 | x | − | 45 2 |
| = | 85 8 | x | − | 45 2 |
85 8 | x | − | 45 2 | = | 5 | ÷ | 7 |
| Right side of the equation = | 5 7 |
85 8 | x | − | 45 2 | = | 5 7 |
85 8 | x | = | 5 7 | + | 45 2 |
85 8 | x | = | 325 14 |
| x | = | 325 14 | ÷ | 85 8 |
| = | 325 14 | × | 8 85 |
| = | 65 7 | × | 4 17 |
| x | = | 260 119 |
| x | = | 2.184874 |
