3 5 | − | 1 25 | ( | 1 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | ) | − | 1 100 | ÷ | x | = | 2 5 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
3 5 | x | − | 1 25 | ( | 1 | + | 1 | ÷ | x | ) | x | − | 1 100 | = | 2 5 | x |
3 5 | x | − | 1 25 | × | 1 | x | − | 1 25 | × | 1 | ÷ | x | × | x | − | 1 100 | = | 2 5 | x |
3 5 | x | − | 1 25 | x | − | 1 25 | ÷ | x | × | x | − | 1 100 | = | 2 5 | x |
14 25 | x | − | 1 25 | ÷ | x | × | x | − | 1 100 | = | 2 5 | x |
14 25 | x | − | 2 5 | x | = | 1 25 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | + | 1 100 |
14 25 | x | − | 2 5 | x | = | 1 25 | + | 1 100 |
4 25 | x | = | 1 25 | + | 1 100 |
4 25 | x | = | 1 20 |
| x | = | 1 20 | ÷ | 4 25 |
| = | 1 20 | × | 25 4 |
| = | 1 4 | × | 5 4 |
| x | = | 5 16 |
| x | = | 0.3125 |
