| ( | x | + | 4 | ) | ÷ | 5 | − | ( | x | − | 5 | ) | = | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 2 | − | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 5 | + | 4 | × | 1 5 | − | ( | x | − | 5 | ) |
| = | x | × | 1 5 | + | 4 5 | − | ( | x | − | 5 | ) |
| = | 1 5 | x | + | 4 5 | − | x | + | 5 |
| = | - | 4 5 | x | + | 29 5 |
| - | 4 5 | x | + | 29 5 | = | ( | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 2 | − | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 1 2 | − | 2 | × | 1 2 | − | 2 |
| = | x | × | 1 2 | − | 1 | − | 2 |
| = | 1 2 | x | − | 3 |
| - | 4 5 | x | + | 29 5 | = | 1 2 | x | − | 3 |
| - | 4 5 | x | − | 1 2 | x | = | - | 3 | − | 29 5 |
| - | 13 10 | x | = | - | 3 | − | 29 5 |
| - | 13 10 | x | = | - | 44 5 |

13 10 | x | = | 44 5 |
| x | = | 44 5 | ÷ | 13 10 |
| = | 44 5 | × | 10 13 |
| = | 44 | × | 2 13 |
