| 20 | = | 25 | x | ÷ | 14 | − | 25 | x | ÷ | 27 | + | 500 | ÷ | 27 |
| Right side of the equation = | 25 14 | x | − | 25 27 | x | + | 500 27 |
| = | 325 378 | x | + | 500 27 |
| 20 | = | 325 378 | x | + | 500 27 |
| - | 325 378 | x | = | 500 27 | − | 20 |
| - | 325 378 | x | = | - | 40 27 |
40 27 | = | 325 378 | x |
325 378 | x | = | 40 27 |
| x | = | 40 27 | ÷ | 325 378 |
| = | 40 27 | × | 378 325 |
| = | 8 | × | 14 65 |
| x | = | 112 65 |
| x | = | 1.723077 |
