13 10 | x | + | 29 10 | ( | 22 | − | x | ) | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 13 10 | x | + | 29 10 | × | 22 | − | 29 10 | x |
| = | 13 10 | x | + | 319 5 | − | 29 10 | x |
| = | - | 8 5 | x | + | 319 5 |
| - | 8 5 | x | + | 319 5 | = | 0 |
| - | 8 5 | x | = | 0 | − | 319 5 |
| - | 8 5 | x | = | - | 319 5 |
319 5 | = | 8 5 | x |
8 5 | x | = | 319 5 |
| x | = | 319 5 | ÷ | 8 5 |
| = | 319 5 | × | 5 8 |
| = | 319 | × | 1 8 |
| x | = | 319 8 |
| x | = | 39.875 |
