| ( | 1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ) | ) | ÷ | ( | 3 4 | x | ) | = | 7 10 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 3 4 | x | ) |
| ( | 1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ) | ) | = | 7 10 | ( | 3 4 | x | ) |
1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ) | = | 7 10 | ( | 3 4 | x | ) |
1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ) | = | 7 10 | × | 3 4 | x |
1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ) | = | 21 40 | x |
1 2 | x | − | 1 2 | × | 1 2 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | = | 21 40 | x |
1 2 | x | − | 1 4 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | = | 21 40 | x |
1 2 | x | − | 1 4 | x | + | 1 4 | × | 1 | = | 21 40 | x |
1 2 | x | − | 1 4 | x | + | 1 4 | = | 21 40 | x |
1 4 | x | + | 1 4 | = | 21 40 | x |
1 4 | x | − | 21 40 | x | = | - | 1 4 |
| - | 11 40 | x | = | - | 1 4 |
1 4 | = | 11 40 | x |
11 40 | x | = | 1 4 |
| x | = | 1 4 | ÷ | 11 40 |
| = | 1 4 | × | 40 11 |
| = | 1 | × | 10 11 |
| x | = | 10 11 |
| x | = | 0.909091 |
