| 5 | ( | 1 5 | x | + | 7 | ) | − | 2 | ( | 3 10 | x | − | 4 | ) | = | 47 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | × | 1 5 | x | + | 5 | × | 7 | − | 2 | ( | 3 10 | x | − | 4 | ) |
| = | 1 | x | + | 35 | − | 2 | ( | 3 10 | x | − | 4 | ) |
| = | 1 | x | + | 35 | − | 2 | × | 3 10 | x | + | 2 | × | 4 |
| = | 1 | x | + | 35 | − | 3 5 | x | + | 8 |
| = | 2 5 | x | + | 43 |
2 5 | x | + | 43 | = | 47 |
2 5 | x | = | 47 | − | 43 |
2 5 | x | = | 4 |
| x | = | 4 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 4 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 2 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 10 |
