| ( | 152 | − | x | ) | − | 5 | = | 9 | ÷ | 11 | × | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 152 | − | x | − | 5 |
| = | 147 | − | x |
| 147 | − | x | = | 9 | ÷ | 11 | × | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 9 11 | x |
| 147 | − | x | = | 9 11 | x |
| - | x | − | 9 11 | x | = | - | 147 |
| - | 20 11 | x | = | - | 147 |
| 147 | = | 20 11 | x |
20 11 | x | = | 147 |
| x | = | 147 | ÷ | 20 11 |
| = | 147 | × | 11 20 |
| x | = | 1617 20 |
| x | = | 80.85 |
