| 108 | = | ( | 8 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ) | ÷ | 10 | + | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 8 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 1 10 | + | x |
| = | 4 5 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | + | x |
| = | 4 5 | × | 1 | + | 4 5 | x | + | x |
| = | 4 5 | + | 4 5 | x | + | x |
| = | 4 5 | + | 9 5 | x |
| 108 | = | 4 5 | + | 9 5 | x |
| - | 9 5 | x | = | 4 5 | − | 108 |
| - | 9 5 | x | = | - | 536 5 |
536 5 | = | 9 5 | x |
9 5 | x | = | 536 5 |
| x | = | 536 5 | ÷ | 9 5 |
| = | 536 5 | × | 5 9 |
| = | 536 | × | 1 9 |
| x | = | 536 9 |
| x | = | 59.555556 |
