| ( | X | + | 1 | ) | × | 6 5 | × | 1 10 | = | 18 25 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | X | + | 1 | ) | × | 3 25 |
| ( | X | + | 1 | ) | × | 3 25 | = | 18 25 |
| Left side of the equation = | X | × | 3 25 | + | 1 | × | 3 25 |
| = | X | × | 3 25 | + | 3 25 |
3 25 | X | + | 3 25 | = | 18 25 |
3 25 | X | = | 18 25 | − | 3 25 |
3 25 | X | = | 3 5 |
| X | = | 3 5 | ÷ | 3 25 |
| = | 3 5 | × | 25 3 |
