| ( | x | − | 40 | ) | × | 1 4 | = | 8 25 | x | − | 24 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 4 | − | 40 | × | 1 4 |
| = | x | × | 1 4 | − | 10 |
1 4 | x | − | 10 | = | 8 25 | x | − | 24 |
1 4 | x | − | 8 25 | x | = | - | 24 | + | 10 |
| - | 7 100 | x | = | - | 24 | + | 10 |
| - | 7 100 | x | = | - | 14 |
| 14 | = | 7 100 | x |
7 100 | x | = | 14 |
| x | = | 14 | ÷ | 7 100 |
| = | 14 | × | 100 7 |
| = | 2 | × | 100 |
| x | = | 200 |
