| 1 | X | + | 2 | × | 20 100 | = | ( | 1 | + | 2 | ) | × | 3 5 | X |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | X | + | 2 5 |
| 1 | X | + | 2 5 | = | ( | 1 | + | 2 | ) | × | 3 5 | X |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | × | 3 5 | X | + | 2 | × | 3 5 | X |
| = | 3 5 | X | + | 6 5 | X |
| = | 9 5 | X |
| 1 | X | + | 2 5 | = | 9 5 | X |
| 1 | X | − | 9 5 | X | = | - | 2 5 |
| - | 4 5 | X | = | - | 2 5 |
2 5 | = | 4 5 | X |
4 5 | X | = | 2 5 |
| X | = | 2 5 | ÷ | 4 5 |
| = | 2 5 | × | 5 4 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 2 |
| X | = | 1 2 |
| X | = | 0.5 |
