5 2 | x | + | 3 2 | x | ÷ | 2 | = | 2 | ( | 3 2 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 14 | × | 1 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 2 | x | + | 3 4 | x |
| = | 13 4 | x |
13 4 | x | = | 2 | ( | 3 2 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 14 | × | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | × | 3 2 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 2 | × | 14 | × | 1 |
| = | 3 2 | x | + | 28 |
13 4 | x | = | 3 2 | x | + | 28 |
13 4 | x | − | 3 2 | x | = | 28 |
7 4 | x | = | 28 |
| x | = | 28 | ÷ | 7 4 |
| = | 28 | × | 4 7 |
| = | 4 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 16 |
