| 74 | × | 9 5 | − | x | = | x | × | 19 2 | − | 74 |
| Left side of the equation = | 666 5 | − | x |
666 5 | − | x | = | x | × | 19 2 | − | 74 |
| - | x | − | 19 2 | x | = | - | 74 | − | 666 5 |
| - | 21 2 | x | = | - | 74 | − | 666 5 |
| - | 21 2 | x | = | - | 1036 5 |
1036 5 | = | 21 2 | x |
21 2 | x | = | 1036 5 |
| x | = | 1036 5 | ÷ | 21 2 |
| = | 1036 5 | × | 2 21 |
| = | 148 5 | × | 2 3 |
| x | = | 296 15 |
| x | = | 19.733333 |
