108 5 | + | 27 5 | x | = | 8 | ( | x | − | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 8 | x | − | 8 | × | 1 |
| = | 8 | x | − | 8 |
108 5 | + | 27 5 | x | = | 8 | x | − | 8 |
27 5 | x | − | 8 | x | = | - | 8 | − | 108 5 |
| - | 13 5 | x | = | - | 8 | − | 108 5 |
| - | 13 5 | x | = | - | 148 5 |
148 5 | = | 13 5 | x |
13 5 | x | = | 148 5 |
| x | = | 148 5 | ÷ | 13 5 |
| = | 148 5 | × | 5 13 |
| = | 148 | × | 1 13 |
| x | = | 148 13 |
| x | = | 11.384615 |
