| 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | X | + | 4 | ( | 3 | X | − | 5 | ) | = | 9 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 3 | X | + | 4 | ( | 3 | X | − | 5 | ) |
1 3 | X | + | 4 | ( | 3 | X | − | 5 | ) | = | 9 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 3 | X | + | 4 | × | 3 | X | − | 4 | × | 5 |
| = | 1 3 | X | + | 12 | X | − | 20 |
| = | 37 3 | X | − | 20 |
37 3 | X | − | 20 | = | 9 |
37 3 | X | = | 9 | + | 20 |
37 3 | X | = | 29 |
| X | = | 29 | ÷ | 37 3 |
| = | 29 | × | 3 37 |
| X | = | 87 37 |
