| x | ÷ | 17 10 | = | ( | x | − | 8 | ) | ÷ | 7 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 5 7 | − | 8 | × | 5 7 |
| = | x | × | 5 7 | − | 40 7 |
10 17 | x | = | 5 7 | x | − | 40 7 |
10 17 | x | − | 5 7 | x | = | - | 40 7 |
| - | 15 119 | x | = | - | 40 7 |
40 7 | = | 15 119 | x |
15 119 | x | = | 40 7 |
| x | = | 40 7 | ÷ | 15 119 |
| = | 40 7 | × | 119 15 |
| = | 8 | × | 17 3 |
| x | = | 136 3 |
| x | = | 45.333333 |
