| ( | x | − | 3 | ) | ÷ | 10 | = | 4 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 10 | − | 3 | × | 1 10 |
| = | x | × | 1 10 | − | 3 10 |
1 10 | x | − | 3 10 | = | 4 | x |
1 10 | x | − | 4 | x | = | 3 10 |
| - | 39 10 | x | = | 3 10 |
| - | 3 10 | = | 39 10 | x |
39 10 | x | = | - | 3 10 |
| x | = | - | 3 10 | ÷ | 39 10 |
| = | - | 3 10 | × | 10 39 |
| = | - | 1 | × | 1 13 |
| x | = | - | 1 13 |
| x | = | - 0.076923 |
