| ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 | − | ( | 5 | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 4 | = | 0 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | × | 1 3 | + | 1 | × | 1 3 | − | ( | 5 | x | − | 2 | ) | × | 1 4 |
| = | 2 3 | x | + | 1 3 | − | ( | 5 | x | − | 2 | ) | × | 1 4 |
| = | 2 3 | x | + | 1 3 | − | 5 | x | × | 1 4 | + | 2 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 2 3 | x | + | 1 3 | − | 5 4 | x | + | 1 2 |
| = | - | 7 12 | x | + | 5 6 |
| - | 7 12 | x | + | 5 6 | = | 0 |
| - | 7 12 | x | = | 0 | − | 5 6 |
| - | 7 12 | x | = | - | 5 6 |
5 6 | = | 7 12 | x |
7 12 | x | = | 5 6 |
| x | = | 5 6 | ÷ | 7 12 |
| = | 5 6 | × | 12 7 |
| = | 5 | × | 2 7 |
| x | = | 10 7 |
| x | = | 1.428571 |
