| x | ÷ | 4 | + | 5 | = | ( | x | + | 100 | ) | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 1 3 | + | 100 | × | 1 3 |
| = | x | × | 1 3 | + | 100 3 |
1 4 | x | + | 5 | = | 1 3 | x | + | 100 3 |
1 4 | x | − | 1 3 | x | = | 100 3 | − | 5 |
| - | 1 12 | x | = | 100 3 | − | 5 |
| - | 1 12 | x | = | 85 3 |
| - | 85 3 | = | 1 12 | x |
1 12 | x | = | - | 85 3 |
| x | = | - | 85 3 | ÷ | 1 12 |
| = | - | 85 3 | × | 12 |
| = | - | 85 | × | 4 |
| x | = | - | 340 |
