11 2 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | ( | 8 | − | x | ) | × | 11 2 | = | 38 |
| Left side of the equation = | 11 4 | x | + | ( | 8 | − | x | ) | × | 11 2 |
11 4 | x | + | ( | 8 | − | x | ) | × | 11 2 | = | 38 |
| Left side of the equation = | 11 4 | x | + | 8 | × | 11 2 | − | x | × | 11 2 |
| = | 11 4 | x | + | 44 | − | x | × | 11 2 |
| = | - | 11 4 | x | + | 44 |
| - | 11 4 | x | + | 44 | = | 38 |
| - | 11 4 | x | = | 38 | − | 44 |
| - | 11 4 | x | = | - | 6 |
| 6 | = | 11 4 | x |
11 4 | x | = | 6 |
| x | = | 6 | ÷ | 11 4 |
| = | 6 | × | 4 11 |
| x | = | 24 11 |
| x | = | 2.181818 |
