3 5 | − | 3 10 | − | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ÷ | x | × | 2 25 | × | 2 5 | = | 1 20 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
3 5 | x | − | 3 10 | x | − | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 2 25 | × | 2 5 | = | 1 20 | x |
3 5 | x | − | 3 10 | x | − | 1 | × | 2 25 | × | 2 5 | − | x | × | 2 25 | × | 2 5 | = | 1 20 | x |
3 5 | x | − | 3 10 | x | − | 4 125 | − | x | × | 4 125 | = | 1 20 | x |
67 250 | x | − | 4 125 | = | 1 20 | x |
67 250 | x | − | 1 20 | x | = | 4 125 |
109 500 | x | = | 4 125 |
| x | = | 4 125 | ÷ | 109 500 |
| = | 4 125 | × | 500 109 |
| = | 4 | × | 4 109 |
| x | = | 16 109 |
