417 5 | x | + | 463 5 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 2154 25 |
| Left side of the equation = | 417 5 | x | + | 463 5 | × | 1 | − | 463 5 | x |
| = | 417 5 | x | + | 463 5 | − | 463 5 | x |
| = | - | 46 5 | x | + | 463 5 |
| - | 46 5 | x | + | 463 5 | = | 2154 25 |
| - | 46 5 | x | = | 2154 25 | − | 463 5 |
| - | 46 5 | x | = | - | 161 25 |
161 25 | = | 46 5 | x |
46 5 | x | = | 161 25 |
| x | = | 161 25 | ÷ | 46 5 |
| = | 161 25 | × | 5 46 |
| = | 7 5 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 7 10 |
| x | = | 0.7 |
