| 10 | × | 8 | + | 8 | × | 70 100 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | = | 164 |
| Left side of the equation = | 80 | + | 28 5 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) |
| 80 | + | 28 5 | ( | x | − | 10 | ) | = | 164 |
| Left side of the equation = | 80 | + | 28 5 | x | − | 28 5 | × | 10 |
| = | 80 | + | 28 5 | x | − | 56 |
| = | 24 | + | 28 5 | x |
| 24 | + | 28 5 | x | = | 164 |
28 5 | x | = | 164 | − | 24 |
28 5 | x | = | 140 |
| x | = | 140 | ÷ | 28 5 |
| = | 140 | × | 5 28 |
| = | 5 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 25 |
