| 3 | ÷ | 5 | − | 4 | x | + | 3 | ÷ | 7 | = | 1 | ÷ | 8 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 5 | − | 4 | x | + | 3 7 |
| = | 36 35 | − | 4 | x |
36 35 | − | 4 | x | = | 1 | ÷ | 8 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 8 |
36 35 | − | 4 | x | = | 1 8 |
| - | 4 | x | = | 1 8 | − | 36 35 |
| - | 4 | x | = | - | 253 280 |
253 280 | = | 4 | x |
| 4 | x | = | 253 280 |
| x | = | 253 280 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 253 280 | × | 1 4 |
| x | = | 253 1120 |
| x | = | 0.225893 |
