| ( | 84 | ÷ | 150 | ) | x | + | 76 | − | 76 | x | = | 404 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 84 | ÷ | 150 | × | x | + | 76 | − | 76 | x |
| = | 14 25 | x | + | 76 | − | 76 | x |
| = | - | 1886 25 | x | + | 76 |
| - | 1886 25 | x | + | 76 | = | 404 5 |
| - | 1886 25 | x | = | 404 5 | − | 76 |
| - | 1886 25 | x | = | 24 5 |
| - | 24 5 | = | 1886 25 | x |
1886 25 | x | = | - | 24 5 |
| x | = | - | 24 5 | ÷ | 1886 25 |
| = | - | 24 5 | × | 25 1886 |
| = | - | 12 | × | 5 943 |
| x | = | - | 60 943 |
| x | = | - 0.063627 |
