| x | − | 2 | ÷ | 5 | + | 3 | = | 5 | − | 2 | − | x | ÷ | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | 2 5 | + | 3 |
| = | x | + | 13 5 |
| x | + | 13 5 | = | 5 | − | 2 | − | x | ÷ | 6 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | − | 1 6 | x |
| x | + | 13 5 | = | 3 | − | 1 6 | x |
| x | + | 1 6 | x | = | 3 | − | 13 5 |
7 6 | x | = | 3 | − | 13 5 |
7 6 | x | = | 2 5 |
| x | = | 2 5 | ÷ | 7 6 |
| = | 2 5 | × | 6 7 |
| x | = | 12 35 |
| x | = | 0.342857 |
