| 4 | ÷ | 80 | + | 4 | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 20 | + | 4 | ( | x | + | 3 | ) |
1 20 | + | 4 | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 20 | + | 4 | x | + | 4 | × | 3 |
| = | 1 20 | + | 4 | x | + | 12 |
| = | 241 20 | + | 4 | x |
241 20 | + | 4 | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 4 |
241 20 | + | 4 | x | = | 3 4 |
| 4 | x | = | 3 4 | − | 241 20 |
| 4 | x | = | - | 113 10 |
| x | = | - | 113 10 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | - | 113 10 | × | 1 4 |
| x | = | - | 113 40 |
| x | = | - 2.825 |
