| 8 | − | 7 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | = | 7 | ÷ | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | 8 | − | 7 2 | x |
| 8 | − | 7 2 | x | = | 7 | ÷ | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 7 4 |
| 8 | − | 7 2 | x | = | 7 4 |
| - | 7 2 | x | = | 7 4 | − | 8 |
| - | 7 2 | x | = | - | 25 4 |
25 4 | = | 7 2 | x |
7 2 | x | = | 25 4 |
| x | = | 25 4 | ÷ | 7 2 |
| = | 25 4 | × | 2 7 |
| = | 25 2 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 25 14 |
| x | = | 1.785714 |
