22 25 | x | = | 450 | + | 8 | ( | x | − | 500 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 450 | + | 8 | x | − | 8 | × | 500 |
| = | 450 | + | 8 | x | − | 4000 |
| = | - | 3550 | + | 8 | x |
22 25 | x | = | - | 3550 | + | 8 | x |
22 25 | x | − | 8 | x | = | - | 3550 |
| - | 178 25 | x | = | - | 3550 |
| 3550 | = | 178 25 | x |
178 25 | x | = | 3550 |
| x | = | 3550 | ÷ | 178 25 |
| = | 3550 | × | 25 178 |
| = | 1775 | × | 25 89 |
