| ( | 471 | + | x | ) | × | 24 5 | = | 5 | x | + | 471 | × | 23 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 471 | × | 24 5 | + | x | × | 24 5 |
| = | 11304 5 | + | x | × | 24 5 |
11304 5 | + | 24 5 | x | = | 5 | x | + | 471 | × | 23 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 5 | x | + | 10833 5 |
11304 5 | + | 24 5 | x | = | 5 | x | + | 10833 5 |
24 5 | x | − | 5 | x | = | 10833 5 | − | 11304 5 |
| - | 1 5 | x | = | 10833 5 | − | 11304 5 |
| - | 1 5 | x | = | - | 471 5 |
471 5 | = | 1 5 | x |
1 5 | x | = | 471 5 |
| x | = | 471 5 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 471 5 | × | 5 |
