3 25 | + | 1 5 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 17 125 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 25 | + | 1 5 | × | 1 | − | 1 5 | x |
| = | 3 25 | + | 1 5 | − | 1 5 | x |
| = | 8 25 | − | 1 5 | x |
8 25 | − | 1 5 | x | = | 17 125 |
| - | 1 5 | x | = | 17 125 | − | 8 25 |
| - | 1 5 | x | = | - | 23 125 |
23 125 | = | 1 5 | x |
1 5 | x | = | 23 125 |
| x | = | 23 125 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 23 125 | × | 5 |
| = | 23 25 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 23 25 |
| x | = | 0.92 |
