| - | 9 | x | × | 2 | + | 82 5 | x | + | 16 25 | = | 37 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 18 | x | + | 82 5 | x | + | 16 25 |
| = | - | 8 5 | x | + | 16 25 |
| - | 8 5 | x | + | 16 25 | = | 37 10 |
| - | 8 5 | x | = | 37 10 | − | 16 25 |
| - | 8 5 | x | = | 153 50 |
| - | 153 50 | = | 8 5 | x |
8 5 | x | = | - | 153 50 |
| x | = | - | 153 50 | ÷ | 8 5 |
| = | - | 153 50 | × | 5 8 |
| = | - | 153 10 | × | 1 8 |
