| x | × | 28 | + | ( | 3 10 | − | x | ) | × | 44 | = | 12 |
| Left side of the equation = | 28 | x | + | 3 10 | × | 44 | − | x | × | 44 |
| = | 28 | x | + | 66 5 | − | x | × | 44 |
| = | - | 16 | x | + | 66 5 |
| - | 16 | x | + | 66 5 | = | 12 |
| - | 16 | x | = | 12 | − | 66 5 |
| - | 16 | x | = | - | 6 5 |
6 5 | = | 16 | x |
| 16 | x | = | 6 5 |
| x | = | 6 5 | ÷ | 16 |
| = | 6 5 | × | 1 16 |
| = | 3 5 | × | 1 8 |
| x | = | 3 40 |
| x | = | 0.075 |
