6 5 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | = | 4 5 | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 6 5 | x | − | 6 5 | × | 10 |
| = | 6 5 | x | − | 12 |
6 5 | x | − | 12 | = | 4 5 | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 5 | x | + | 4 5 | × | 5 |
| = | 4 5 | x | + | 4 |
6 5 | x | − | 12 | = | 4 5 | x | + | 4 |
6 5 | x | − | 4 5 | x | = | 4 | + | 12 |
2 5 | x | = | 4 | + | 12 |
2 5 | x | = | 16 |
| x | = | 16 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 16 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 8 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 40 |
