| 36 | x | + | 1 | = | 90 | ( | 3 | x | − | 1 | ) | × | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 180 | ( | 3 | x | − | 1 | ) |
| 36 | x | + | 1 | = | 180 | ( | 3 | x | − | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 180 | × | 3 | x | − | 180 | × | 1 |
| = | 540 | x | − | 180 |
| 36 | x | + | 1 | = | 540 | x | − | 180 |
| 36 | x | − | 540 | x | = | - | 180 | − | 1 |
| - | 504 | x | = | - | 180 | − | 1 |
| - | 504 | x | = | - | 181 |
| 181 | = | 504 | x |
| 504 | x | = | 181 |
| x | = | 181 | ÷ | 504 |
| = | 181 | × | 1 504 |
| x | = | 181 504 |
| x | = | 0.359127 |
