| - | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | − | 2 | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 17 | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 3 4 | x | − | 2 |
| - | 3 4 | x | − | 2 | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 17 | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 3 | x | + | 17 3 |
| - | 3 4 | x | − | 2 | = | 4 3 | x | + | 17 3 |
| - | 3 4 | x | − | 4 3 | x | = | 17 3 | + | 2 |
| - | 25 12 | x | = | 17 3 | + | 2 |
| - | 25 12 | x | = | 23 3 |
| - | 23 3 | = | 25 12 | x |
25 12 | x | = | - | 23 3 |
| x | = | - | 23 3 | ÷ | 25 12 |
| = | - | 23 3 | × | 12 25 |
| = | - | 23 | × | 4 25 |
| x | = | - | 92 25 |
