| ( | 53 10 | x | − | 5 | ) | ÷ | 7 | = | x | − | 8 |
| Left side of the equation = | 53 10 | x | × | 1 7 | − | 5 | × | 1 7 |
| = | 53 70 | x | − | 5 7 |
53 70 | x | − | 5 7 | = | x | − | 8 |
53 70 | x | − | x | = | - | 8 | + | 5 7 |
| - | 17 70 | x | = | - | 8 | + | 5 7 |
| - | 17 70 | x | = | - | 51 7 |
51 7 | = | 17 70 | x |
17 70 | x | = | 51 7 |
| x | = | 51 7 | ÷ | 17 70 |
| = | 51 7 | × | 70 17 |
| = | 3 | × | 10 |
| x | = | 30 |
