| 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 400 | = | ( | x | + | 400 | ) | x | × | 4 | ÷ | 9 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 5 | x | + | 400 |
2 5 | x | + | 400 | = | ( | x | + | 400 | ) | x | × | 4 | ÷ | 9 |
| Right side of the equation = | ( | x | + | 400 | ) | x | × | 4 9 |
2 5 | x | + | 400 | = | ( | x | + | 400 | ) | x | × | 4 9 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | x | × | 4 9 | + | 400 | x | × | 4 9 |
| = | x | x | × | 4 9 | + | 1600 9 | x |
2 5 | x | + | 400 | = | x | x | × | 4 9 | + | 1600 9 | x |
