| ( | x | + | 8 | ) | ÷ | 6 | − | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 7 | = | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 6 | + | 8 | × | 1 6 | − | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | × | 1 7 |
| = | x | × | 1 6 | + | 4 3 | − | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | × | 1 7 |
| = | 1 6 | x | + | 4 3 | − | x | × | 1 7 | + | 2 | × | 1 7 |
| = | 1 6 | x | + | 4 3 | − | x | × | 1 7 | + | 2 7 |
| = | 1 42 | x | + | 34 21 |
1 42 | x | + | 34 21 | = | 4 |
1 42 | x | = | 4 | − | 34 21 |
1 42 | x | = | 50 21 |
| x | = | 50 21 | ÷ | 1 42 |
| = | 50 21 | × | 42 |
| = | 50 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 100 |
