| 295 | + | x | = | 22 25 | ( | 357 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 22 25 | × | 357 | + | 22 25 | x |
| = | 7854 25 | + | 22 25 | x |
| 295 | + | x | = | 7854 25 | + | 22 25 | x |
| x | − | 22 25 | x | = | 7854 25 | − | 295 |
3 25 | x | = | 7854 25 | − | 295 |
3 25 | x | = | 479 25 |
| x | = | 479 25 | ÷ | 3 25 |
| = | 479 25 | × | 25 3 |
| = | 479 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 479 3 |
| x | = | 159.666667 |
