2 5 | x | + | 12 25 | ( | 84 | − | x | ) | = | 888 25 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 5 | x | + | 12 25 | × | 84 | − | 12 25 | x |
| = | 2 5 | x | + | 1008 25 | − | 12 25 | x |
| = | - | 2 25 | x | + | 1008 25 |
| - | 2 25 | x | + | 1008 25 | = | 888 25 |
| - | 2 25 | x | = | 888 25 | − | 1008 25 |
| - | 2 25 | x | = | - | 24 5 |
24 5 | = | 2 25 | x |
2 25 | x | = | 24 5 |
| x | = | 24 5 | ÷ | 2 25 |
| = | 24 5 | × | 25 2 |
| = | 12 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 60 |
