| 1 | ÷ | 30 | × | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | = | ( | 82 | − | x | ) | − | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 30 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
1 30 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | = | ( | 82 | − | x | ) | − | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 30 | x | − | 1 30 | × | 10 |
| = | 1 30 | x | − | 1 3 |
1 30 | x | − | 1 3 | = | ( | 82 | − | x | ) | − | 10 |
| Right side of the equation = | 82 | − | x | − | 10 |
| = | 72 | − | x |
1 30 | x | − | 1 3 | = | 72 | − | x |
1 30 | x | + | x | = | 72 | + | 1 3 |
31 30 | x | = | 72 | + | 1 3 |
31 30 | x | = | 217 3 |
| x | = | 217 3 | ÷ | 31 30 |
| = | 217 3 | × | 30 31 |
| = | 7 | × | 10 |
| x | = | 70 |
