2 5 | − | 1 10 | ( | x | − | 1 10 | ) | = | 6 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 5 | − | 1 10 | x | + | 1 10 | × | 1 10 |
| = | 2 5 | − | 1 10 | x | + | 1 100 |
| = | 41 100 | − | 1 10 | x |
41 100 | − | 1 10 | x | = | 6 5 |
| - | 1 10 | x | = | 6 5 | − | 41 100 |
| - | 1 10 | x | = | 79 100 |
| - | 79 100 | = | 1 10 | x |
1 10 | x | = | - | 79 100 |
| x | = | - | 79 100 | ÷ | 1 10 |
| = | - | 79 100 | × | 10 |
| = | - | 79 10 | × | 1 |
| x | = | - | 79 10 |
| x | = | - 7.9 |
