69 250 | + | 2 5 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 81 250 | + | 2 5 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 69 250 | + | 2 5 | × | 1 | − | 2 5 | x |
| = | 69 250 | + | 2 5 | − | 2 5 | x |
| = | 169 250 | − | 2 5 | x |
169 250 | − | 2 5 | x | = | 81 250 | + | 2 5 | x |
| - | 2 5 | x | − | 2 5 | x | = | 81 250 | − | 169 250 |
| - | 4 5 | x | = | 81 250 | − | 169 250 |
| - | 4 5 | x | = | - | 44 125 |
44 125 | = | 4 5 | x |
4 5 | x | = | 44 125 |
| x | = | 44 125 | ÷ | 4 5 |
| = | 44 125 | × | 5 4 |
| = | 11 25 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 11 25 |
| x | = | 0.44 |
