| 40 | ÷ | 1 | × | x | + | 50 | ÷ | 1 | × | ( | 46 | − | x | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 40 | x | + | 50 | ( | 46 | − | x | ) |
| 40 | x | + | 50 | ( | 46 | − | x | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 40 | x | + | 50 | × | 46 | − | 50 | x |
| = | 40 | x | + | 2300 | − | 50 | x |
| = | - | 10 | x | + | 2300 |
| - | 10 | x | + | 2300 | = | 1 |
| - | 10 | x | = | 1 | − | 2300 |
| - | 10 | x | = | - | 2299 |
| 2299 | = | 10 | x |
| 10 | x | = | 2299 |
| x | = | 2299 | ÷ | 10 |
| = | 2299 | × | 1 10 |
| x | = | 2299 10 |
| x | = | 229.9 |
