3 5 | − | 1 5 | x | = | 3 10 | ( | 1 | − | 7 10 | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 10 | × | 1 | − | 3 10 | × | 7 10 | x |
| = | 3 10 | − | 21 100 | x |
3 5 | − | 1 5 | x | = | 3 10 | − | 21 100 | x |
| - | 1 5 | x | + | 21 100 | x | = | 3 10 | − | 3 5 |
1 100 | x | = | 3 10 | − | 3 5 |
1 100 | x | = | - | 3 10 |
| x | = | - | 3 10 | ÷ | 1 100 |
| = | - | 3 10 | × | 100 |
| = | - | 3 | × | 10 |
| x | = | - | 30 |
