| ( | x | − | 39 | ) | × | 4 5 | = | 3 | ÷ | 7 | × | x | + | 39 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 4 5 | − | 39 | × | 4 5 |
| = | x | × | 4 5 | − | 156 5 |
4 5 | x | − | 156 5 | = | 3 | ÷ | 7 | × | x | + | 39 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 7 | x | + | 39 |
4 5 | x | − | 156 5 | = | 3 7 | x | + | 39 |
4 5 | x | − | 3 7 | x | = | 39 | + | 156 5 |
13 35 | x | = | 39 | + | 156 5 |
13 35 | x | = | 351 5 |
| x | = | 351 5 | ÷ | 13 35 |
| = | 351 5 | × | 35 13 |
| = | 27 | × | 7 |
| x | = | 189 |
