| 2 | X | − | 8000 | ÷ | 2 | × | X | + | 8000 | = | 1 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | X | − | 4000 | X | + | 8000 |
| = | - | 3998 | X | + | 8000 |
| - | 3998 | X | + | 8000 | = | 1 5 |
| - | 3998 | X | = | 1 5 | − | 8000 |
| - | 3998 | X | = | - | 39999 5 |
39999 5 | = | 3998 | X |
| 3998 | X | = | 39999 5 |
| X | = | 39999 5 | ÷ | 3998 |
| = | 39999 5 | × | 1 3998 |
| X | = | 39999 19990 |
| X | = | 2.00095 |
