77 5 | + | 10 | x | − | 41 5 | = | 1 2 | ( | 8 | x | − | 6 | ) | + | 15 |
| Left side of the equation = | 36 5 | + | 10 | x |
36 5 | + | 10 | x | = | 1 2 | ( | 8 | x | − | 6 | ) | + | 15 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 | × | 8 | x | − | 1 2 | × | 6 | + | 15 |
| = | 4 | x | − | 3 | + | 15 |
| = | 4 | x | + | 12 |
36 5 | + | 10 | x | = | 4 | x | + | 12 |
| 10 | x | − | 4 | x | = | 12 | − | 36 5 |
| 6 | x | = | 12 | − | 36 5 |
| 6 | x | = | 24 5 |
| x | = | 24 5 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | 24 5 | × | 1 6 |
| = | 4 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 4 5 |
| x | = | 0.8 |
