| 7 | ÷ | 9 | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 9 |
| Left side of the equation = | 7 9 | − | 1 3 | x |
7 9 | − | 1 3 | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 9 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 3 |
7 9 | − | 1 3 | x | = | 1 3 |
| - | 1 3 | x | = | 1 3 | − | 7 9 |
| - | 1 3 | x | = | - | 4 9 |
4 9 | = | 1 3 | x |
1 3 | x | = | 4 9 |
| x | = | 4 9 | ÷ | 1 3 |
| = | 4 9 | × | 3 |
| = | 4 3 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 4 3 |
| x | = | 1.333333 |
