44 25 | ( | x | + | 48 | ) | − | x | − | 48 | = | 1 4 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 44 25 | x | + | 44 25 | × | 48 | − | x | − | 48 |
| = | 44 25 | x | + | 2112 25 | − | x | − | 48 |
| = | 19 25 | x | + | 912 25 |
19 25 | x | + | 912 25 | = | 1 4 | x |
19 25 | x | − | 1 4 | x | = | - | 912 25 |
51 100 | x | = | - | 912 25 |
| x | = | - | 912 25 | ÷ | 51 100 |
| = | - | 912 25 | × | 100 51 |
| = | - | 304 | × | 4 17 |
| x | = | - | 1216 17 |
| x | = | - 71.529412 |
