8 | x | − | 24 | ÷ | 25 | × | x | − | 40 | = | 1 | ÷ | 4 |
Left side of the equation = | 8 | x | − | 24 25 | x | − | 40 |
= | 176 25 | x | − | 40 |
176 25 | x | − | 40 | = | 1 | ÷ | 4 |
Right side of the equation = | 1 4 |
176 25 | x | − | 40 | = | 1 4 |
176 25 | x | = | 1 4 | + | 40 |
176 25 | x | = | 161 4 |
x | = | 161 4 | ÷ | 176 25 |
= | 161 4 | × | 25 176 |
x | = | 4025 704 |
x | = | 5.71733 |
