4 5 | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | + | 28 5 | = | 48 | − | 16 5 | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 5 | x | − | 4 5 | × | 2 | + | 28 5 |
| = | 4 5 | x | − | 8 5 | + | 28 5 |
| = | 4 5 | x | + | 4 |
4 5 | x | + | 4 | = | 48 | − | 16 5 | ( | x | + | 5 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 48 | − | 16 5 | x | − | 16 5 | × | 5 |
| = | 48 | − | 16 5 | x | − | 16 |
| = | 32 | − | 16 5 | x |
4 5 | x | + | 4 | = | 32 | − | 16 5 | x |
4 5 | x | + | 16 5 | x | = | 32 | − | 4 |
| 4 | x | = | 32 | − | 4 |
| 4 | x | = | 28 |
| x | = | 28 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 28 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 7 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 7 |
