| 7 | ( | 21 10 | x | + | 47 5 | ) | − | 6863 50 | = | 5 | x | + | 21 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 7 | × | 21 10 | x | + | 7 | × | 47 5 | − | 6863 50 |
| = | 147 10 | x | + | 329 5 | − | 6863 50 |
| = | 147 10 | x | − | 3573 50 |
147 10 | x | − | 3573 50 | = | 5 | x | + | 21 5 |
147 10 | x | − | 5 | x | = | 21 5 | + | 3573 50 |
97 10 | x | = | 21 5 | + | 3573 50 |
97 10 | x | = | 3783 50 |
| x | = | 3783 50 | ÷ | 97 10 |
| = | 3783 50 | × | 10 97 |
| = | 39 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 39 5 |
| x | = | 7.8 |
