| 4 | ( | x | − | 7 2 | ) | − | 4 | = | - | 25 | ÷ | 8 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 | x | − | 4 | × | 7 2 | − | 4 |
| = | 4 | x | − | 14 | − | 4 |
| = | 4 | x | − | 18 |
| 4 | x | − | 18 | = | - | 25 | ÷ | 8 |
| Right side of the equation = | - | 25 8 |
| 4 | x | − | 18 | = | - | 25 8 |
| 4 | x | = | - | 25 8 | + | 18 |
| 4 | x | = | 119 8 |
| x | = | 119 8 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 119 8 | × | 1 4 |
| x | = | 119 32 |
| x | = | 3.71875 |
