| ( | x | ÷ | 80 | ) | × | 2 | + | ( | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | ÷ | 80 | ) | × | 8 | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | ÷ | 80 | × | 2 | + | ( | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | ÷ | 80 | ) | × | 8 |
| = | x | × | 1 40 | + | ( | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | ÷ | 80 | ) | × | 8 |
| = | 1 40 | x | + | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | ÷ | 80 | × | 8 |
| = | 1 40 | x | + | ( | x | + | 5 | ) | × | 1 10 |
| = | 1 40 | x | + | x | × | 1 10 | + | 5 | × | 1 10 |
| = | 1 40 | x | + | x | × | 1 10 | + | 1 2 |
| = | 1 8 | x | + | 1 2 |
1 8 | x | + | 1 2 | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 4 |
1 8 | x | + | 1 2 | = | 3 4 |
1 8 | x | = | 3 4 | − | 1 2 |
1 8 | x | = | 1 4 |
| x | = | 1 4 | ÷ | 1 8 |
