287 | − | 15 | − | 8 | − | X | = | ( | X | − | 8 | ) | ÷ | 15 |
Left side of the equation = | 264 | − | X |
264 | − | X | = | ( | X | − | 8 | ) | ÷ | 15 |
Right side of the equation = | X | × | 1 15 | − | 8 | × | 1 15 |
= | X | × | 1 15 | − | 8 15 |
264 | − | X | = | 1 15 | X | − | 8 15 |
- | X | − | 1 15 | X | = | - | 8 15 | − | 264 |
- | 16 15 | X | = | - | 8 15 | − | 264 |
- | 16 15 | X | = | - | 3968 15 |
3968 15 | = | 16 15 | X |
16 15 | X | = | 3968 15 |
X | = | 3968 15 | ÷ | 16 15 |
= | 3968 15 | × | 15 16 |
= | 248 | × | 1 |
X | = | 248 |
