| ( | 8 | x | + | 60 | ) | ÷ | 5 | − | ( | 7 | x | − | 10 | ) | = | 10 |
| Left side of the equation = | 8 | x | × | 1 5 | + | 60 | × | 1 5 | − | ( | 7 | x | − | 10 | ) |
| = | 8 5 | x | + | 12 | − | ( | 7 | x | − | 10 | ) |
| = | 8 5 | x | + | 12 | − | 7 | x | + | 10 |
| = | - | 27 5 | x | + | 22 |
| - | 27 5 | x | + | 22 | = | 10 |
| - | 27 5 | x | = | 10 | − | 22 |
| - | 27 5 | x | = | - | 12 |
| 12 | = | 27 5 | x |
27 5 | x | = | 12 |
| x | = | 12 | ÷ | 27 5 |
| = | 12 | × | 5 27 |
| = | 4 | × | 5 9 |
| x | = | 20 9 |
| x | = | 2.222222 |
