| 8 | x | = | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 850 | − | 10 | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 3 | ( | 850 | − | 10 | x | ) |
| 8 | x | = | 1 3 | ( | 850 | − | 10 | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 3 | × | 850 | − | 1 3 | × | 10 | x |
| = | 850 3 | − | 10 3 | x |
| 8 | x | = | 850 3 | − | 10 3 | x |
| 8 | x | + | 10 3 | x | = | 850 3 |
34 3 | x | = | 850 3 |
| x | = | 850 3 | ÷ | 34 3 |
| = | 850 3 | × | 3 34 |
| = | 25 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 25 |
