| ( | 5 | x | + | 15 | ) | ÷ | 2 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 10 | ) | ÷ | 7 | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | x | × | 1 2 | + | 15 | × | 1 2 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 10 | ) | × | 1 7 |
| = | 5 2 | x | + | 15 2 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 10 | ) | × | 1 7 |
| = | 5 2 | x | + | 15 2 | − | 2 | x | × | 1 7 | + | 10 | × | 1 7 |
| = | 5 2 | x | + | 15 2 | − | 2 7 | x | + | 10 7 |
| = | 31 14 | x | + | 125 14 |
31 14 | x | + | 125 14 | = | 1 |
31 14 | x | = | 1 | − | 125 14 |
31 14 | x | = | - | 111 14 |
| x | = | - | 111 14 | ÷ | 31 14 |
| = | - | 111 14 | × | 14 31 |
| = | - | 111 | × | 1 31 |
| x | = | - | 111 31 |
| x | = | - 3.580645 |
