| 5 | ( | x | + | 8 | ) | ÷ | 5 | = | 6 | ( | 2 | x | − | 7 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | ( | x | + | 8 | ) |
| 1 | ( | x | + | 8 | ) | = | 6 | ( | 2 | x | − | 7 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | x | + | 1 | × | 8 |
| = | 1 | x | + | 8 |
| 1 | x | + | 8 | = | 6 | ( | 2 | x | − | 7 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 6 | × | 2 | x | − | 6 | × | 7 |
| = | 12 | x | − | 42 |
| 1 | x | + | 8 | = | 12 | x | − | 42 |
| 1 | x | − | 12 | x | = | - | 42 | − | 8 |
| - | 11 | x | = | - | 42 | − | 8 |
| - | 11 | x | = | - | 50 |
| 50 | = | 11 | x |
| 11 | x | = | 50 |
| x | = | 50 | ÷ | 11 |
| = | 50 | × | 1 11 |
| x | = | 50 11 |
| x | = | 4.545455 |
