| ( | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 6 | ) | − | ( | ( | 3 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 8 | ) | = | - | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 6 | − | ( | ( | 3 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 8 | ) |
| = | 2 | x | × | 1 6 | − | 1 | × | 1 6 | − | ( | ( | 3 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 8 | ) |
| = | 1 3 | x | − | 1 6 | − | ( | ( | 3 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 8 | ) |
| = | 1 3 | x | − | 1 6 | − | ( | 3 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 8 |
| = | 1 3 | x | − | 1 6 | − | 3 | x | × | 1 8 | + | 1 | × | 1 8 |
| = | 1 3 | x | − | 1 6 | − | 3 8 | x | + | 1 8 |
| = | - | 1 24 | x | − | 1 24 |
| - | 1 24 | x | − | 1 24 | = | - | 1 |
| - | 1 24 | x | = | - | 1 | + | 1 24 |
| - | 1 24 | x | = | - | 23 24 |
23 24 | = | 1 24 | x |
1 24 | x | = | 23 24 |
| x | = | 23 24 | ÷ | 1 24 |
| = | 23 24 | × | 24 |
| = | 23 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 23 |
