24 25 | x | + | 9 5 | ( | 60 | − | x | ) | = | 87 |
| Left side of the equation = | 24 25 | x | + | 9 5 | × | 60 | − | 9 5 | x |
| = | 24 25 | x | + | 108 | − | 9 5 | x |
| = | - | 21 25 | x | + | 108 |
| - | 21 25 | x | + | 108 | = | 87 |
| - | 21 25 | x | = | 87 | − | 108 |
| - | 21 25 | x | = | - | 21 |
| 21 | = | 21 25 | x |
21 25 | x | = | 21 |
| x | = | 21 | ÷ | 21 25 |
| = | 21 | × | 25 21 |
| = | 1 | × | 25 |
| x | = | 25 |
