| ( | 5 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 3 10 | = | ( | 13 2 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 2 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | × | 10 3 | + | x | × | 10 3 |
| = | 50 3 | + | x | × | 10 3 |
50 3 | + | 10 3 | x | = | ( | 13 2 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 2 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 13 2 | × | 5 2 | + | x | × | 5 2 |
| = | 65 4 | + | x | × | 5 2 |
50 3 | + | 10 3 | x | = | 65 4 | + | 5 2 | x |
10 3 | x | − | 5 2 | x | = | 65 4 | − | 50 3 |
5 6 | x | = | 65 4 | − | 50 3 |
5 6 | x | = | - | 5 12 |
| x | = | - | 5 12 | ÷ | 5 6 |
| = | - | 5 12 | × | 6 5 |
| = | - | 1 2 | × | 1 |
