| X | − | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | X | − | 20 | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | X |
| Left side of the equation = | X | − | 3 5 | X | − | 20 |
| = | 2 5 | X | − | 20 |
2 5 | X | − | 20 | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | X |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 | X |
2 5 | X | − | 20 | = | 1 2 | X |
2 5 | X | − | 1 2 | X | = | 20 |
| - | 1 10 | X | = | 20 |
| - | 20 | = | 1 10 | X |
1 10 | X | = | - | 20 |
| X | = | - | 20 | ÷ | 1 10 |
| = | - | 20 | × | 10 |
| X | = | - | 200 |
