| Left side of the equation = | 1 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | + | ( | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | ) | ( | 2600 | − | x | ) |
| = | 1 | x | − | 1 4 | x | + | ( | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | ) | ( | 2600 | − | x | ) |
| = | 3 4 | x | + | ( | 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | ) | ( | 2600 | − | x | ) |
| = | 3 4 | x | + | 1 | ( | 2600 | − | x | ) | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 2600 | − | x | ) |
| = | 3 4 | x | + | 1 | ( | 2600 | − | x | ) | − | 1 5 | ( | 2600 | − | x | ) |
| = | 3 4 | x | + | 1 | × | 2600 | − | 1 | x | − | 1 5 | ( | 2600 | − | x | ) |
| = | 3 4 | x | + | 2600 | − | 1 | x | − | 1 5 | ( | 2600 | − | x | ) |
| = | - | 1 4 | x | + | 2600 | − | 1 5 | ( | 2600 | − | x | ) |
| = | - | 1 4 | x | + | 2600 | − | 1 5 | × | 2600 | + | 1 5 | x |
| = | - | 1 4 | x | + | 2600 | − | 520 | + | 1 5 | x |
| = | - | 1 20 | x | + | 2080 |
| - | 1 20 | x | + | 2080 | = | 2000 |
| - | 1 20 | x | = | 2000 | − | 2080 |
| - | 1 20 | x | = | - | 80 |
| 80 | = | 1 20 | x |
1 20 | x | = | 80 |
| x | = | 80 | ÷ | 1 20 |
| = | 80 | × | 20 |
| x | = | 1600 |
