| 25 | − | 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | p | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | p | − | 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 25 | − | 1 4 | p |
| 25 | − | 1 4 | p | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | p | − | 20 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 | p | − | 20 |
| 25 | − | 1 4 | p | = | 1 2 | p | − | 20 |
| - | 1 4 | p | − | 1 2 | p | = | - | 20 | − | 25 |
| - | 3 4 | p | = | - | 20 | − | 25 |
| - | 3 4 | p | = | - | 45 |
| 45 | = | 3 4 | p |
3 4 | p | = | 45 |
| p | = | 45 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 45 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 15 | × | 4 |
| p | = | 60 |
