| 5 | ( | x | − | 13 5 | ) | ÷ | 2 | = | 83 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 2 | ( | x | − | 13 5 | ) |
5 2 | ( | x | − | 13 5 | ) | = | 83 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 2 | x | − | 5 2 | × | 13 5 |
| = | 5 2 | x | − | 13 2 |
5 2 | x | − | 13 2 | = | 83 10 |
5 2 | x | = | 83 10 | + | 13 2 |
5 2 | x | = | 74 5 |
| x | = | 74 5 | ÷ | 5 2 |
| = | 74 5 | × | 2 5 |
| x | = | 148 25 |
| x | = | 5.92 |
| 7 | x | + | 23 | = | 2 | x | + | 115 2 |
| 7 | x | − | 2 | x | = | 115 2 | − | 23 |
| 5 | x | = | 115 2 | − | 23 |
| 5 | x | = | 69 2 |
| x | = | 69 2 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 69 2 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 69 10 |
| x | = | 6.9 |
