| - | ( | 5 | ÷ | 4 | ) | x | + | ( | 7 | ÷ | 4 | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 5 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | + | ( | 7 | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| = | - | 5 4 | x | + | ( | 7 | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| = | - | 5 4 | x | + | 7 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | - | 5 4 | x | + | 7 4 |
| - | 5 4 | x | + | 7 4 | = | 0 |
| - | 5 4 | x | = | 0 | − | 7 4 |
| - | 5 4 | x | = | - | 7 4 |
7 4 | = | 5 4 | x |
5 4 | x | = | 7 4 |
| x | = | 7 4 | ÷ | 5 4 |
| = | 7 4 | × | 4 5 |
| = | 7 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 7 5 |
| x | = | 1.4 |
