| x | = | ( | 16 | ÷ | 35 | ) | − | ( | 4 | ÷ | 7 | ) | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 16 | ÷ | 35 | − | ( | 4 | ÷ | 7 | ) | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| = | 16 35 | − | ( | 4 | ÷ | 7 | ) | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| = | 16 35 | − | 4 | ÷ | 7 | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| = | 16 35 | − | 4 7 | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| = | - | 4 35 | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| = | - | 4 35 | − | 1 | ÷ | 4 |
| = | - | 4 35 | − | 1 4 |
| = | - | 51 140 |
| x | = | - | 51 140 |
