| 48 | x | + | ( | 100 | − | x | ) | × | 64 | = | 3780 |
| Left side of the equation = | 48 | x | + | 100 | × | 64 | − | x | × | 64 |
| = | 48 | x | + | 6400 | − | x | × | 64 |
| = | - | 16 | x | + | 6400 |
| - | 16 | x | + | 6400 | = | 3780 |
| - | 16 | x | = | 3780 | − | 6400 |
| - | 16 | x | = | - | 2620 |
| 2620 | = | 16 | x |
| 16 | x | = | 2620 |
| x | = | 2620 | ÷ | 16 |
| = | 2620 | × | 1 16 |
| = | 655 | × | 1 4 |
| x | = | 655 4 |
| x | = | 163.75 |
