| 420 | = | 160 | + | 3 | × | 10 | × | 2 | + | 22 5 | × | 13 | ( | x | − | 1 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 160 | + | 60 | + | 286 5 | ( | x | − | 1 2 | ) |
| = | 220 | + | 286 5 | ( | x | − | 1 2 | ) |

| Right side of the equation = | 220 | + | 286 5 | x | − | 286 5 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 220 | + | 286 5 | x | − | 143 5 |
| = | 957 5 | + | 286 5 | x |
| 420 | = | 957 5 | + | 286 5 | x |
| - | 286 5 | x | = | 957 5 | − | 420 |
| - | 286 5 | x | = | - | 1143 5 |
1143 5 | = | 286 5 | x |
286 5 | x | = | 1143 5 |
| x | = | 1143 5 | ÷ | 286 5 |
