4 | ÷ | 7 | × | x | + | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | × | 12 | ÷ | 23 | = | x |
Left side of the equation = | 4 7 | x | + | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | × | 12 23 |
4 7 | x | + | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | × | 12 23 | = | x |
Left side of the equation = | 4 7 | x | + | x | × | 12 23 | − | 5 | × | 12 23 |
= | 4 7 | x | + | x | × | 12 23 | − | 60 23 |
= | 176 161 | x | − | 60 23 |
176 161 | x | − | 60 23 | = | x |
176 161 | x | − | x | = | 60 23 |
15 161 | x | = | 60 23 |
x | = | 60 23 | ÷ | 15 161 |
= | 60 23 | × | 161 15 |
= | 4 | × | 7 |
x | = | 28 |
