| ( | 2 | + | 3 | x | ) | × | 1 100 | × | 4 | = | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | 2 | + | 3 | x | ) | × | 1 25 |
| ( | 2 | + | 3 | x | ) | × | 1 25 | = | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | × | 1 25 | + | 3 | x | × | 1 25 |
| = | 2 25 | + | 3 25 | x |
2 25 | + | 3 25 | x | = | 5 |
3 25 | x | = | 5 | − | 2 25 |
3 25 | x | = | 123 25 |
| x | = | 123 25 | ÷ | 3 25 |
