| 2 | ÷ | 1 | × | x | + | 2 | ( | 4 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 1 | ) | = | 8 | + | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 2 | ( | 4 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 1 | ) |
| 2 | x | + | 2 | ( | 4 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 1 | ) | = | 8 | + | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 2 | × | 4 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | + | 2 | × | 1 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 8 5 | x | + | 2 |
| = | 18 5 | x | + | 2 |
18 5 | x | + | 2 | = | 8 | + | x |
18 5 | x | − | x | = | 8 | − | 2 |
13 5 | x | = | 8 | − | 2 |
13 5 | x | = | 6 |
| x | = | 6 | ÷ | 13 5 |
| = | 6 | × | 5 13 |
| x | = | 30 13 |
| x | = | 2.307692 |
