| ( | 139 | + | 4 | x | ) | ÷ | 5 | = | x | − | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 139 | × | 1 5 | + | 4 | x | × | 1 5 |
| = | 139 5 | + | 4 5 | x |
139 5 | + | 4 5 | x | = | x | − | 10 |
4 5 | x | − | x | = | - | 10 | − | 139 5 |
| - | 1 5 | x | = | - | 10 | − | 139 5 |
| - | 1 5 | x | = | - | 189 5 |
189 5 | = | 1 5 | x |
1 5 | x | = | 189 5 |
| x | = | 189 5 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 189 5 | × | 5 |
| = | 189 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 189 |
