| 1 | − | 5 | ÷ | 9 | × | x | + | 8 | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | − | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | − | 5 9 | x | + | 8 |
| = | 9 | − | 5 9 | x |
| 9 | − | 5 9 | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | − | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 4 | x | − | 3 |
| 9 | − | 5 9 | x | = | 3 4 | x | − | 3 |
| - | 5 9 | x | − | 3 4 | x | = | - | 3 | − | 9 |
| - | 47 36 | x | = | - | 3 | − | 9 |
| - | 47 36 | x | = | - | 12 |
| 12 | = | 47 36 | x |
47 36 | x | = | 12 |
| x | = | 12 | ÷ | 47 36 |
| = | 12 | × | 36 47 |
| x | = | 432 47 |
| x | = | 9.191489 |
