2 5 | x | + | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | ( | 18 | ÷ | 37 | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 5 | x | + | 1 | ( | 18 | ÷ | 37 | ) | − | x | ( | 18 | ÷ | 37 | ) |
| = | 2 5 | x | + | 1 | × | 18 | ÷ | 37 | − | x | ( | 18 | ÷ | 37 | ) |
| = | 2 5 | x | + | 18 37 | − | x | ( | 18 | ÷ | 37 | ) |
| = | 2 5 | x | + | 18 37 | − | x | × | 18 | ÷ | 37 |
| = | 2 5 | x | + | 18 37 | − | x | × | 18 37 |
| = | - | 16 185 | x | + | 18 37 |
| - | 16 185 | x | + | 18 37 | = | 0 |
| - | 16 185 | x | = | 0 | − | 18 37 |
| - | 16 185 | x | = | - | 18 37 |
18 37 | = | 16 185 | x |
16 185 | x | = | 18 37 |
| x | = | 18 37 | ÷ | 16 185 |
| = | 18 37 | × | 185 16 |
| = | 9 | × | 5 8 |
| x | = | 45 8 |
| x | = | 5.625 |
