9 2 | ( | 16 5 | x | + | 31 5 | ) | − | 969 10 | = | 7 5 | x | + | 32 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 9 2 | × | 16 5 | x | + | 9 2 | × | 31 5 | − | 969 10 |
| = | 72 5 | x | + | 279 10 | − | 969 10 |
| = | 72 5 | x | − | 69 |
72 5 | x | − | 69 | = | 7 5 | x | + | 32 5 |
72 5 | x | − | 7 5 | x | = | 32 5 | + | 69 |
| 13 | x | = | 32 5 | + | 69 |
| 13 | x | = | 377 5 |
| x | = | 377 5 | ÷ | 13 |
| = | 377 5 | × | 1 13 |
| = | 29 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 29 5 |
| x | = | 5.8 |
