| 5 | ÷ | 12 | × | ( | x | − | 6 | ) | + | 6 | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 12 | ( | x | − | 6 | ) | + | 6 |
5 12 | ( | x | − | 6 | ) | + | 6 | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 12 | x | − | 5 12 | × | 6 | + | 6 |
| = | 5 12 | x | − | 5 2 | + | 6 |
| = | 5 12 | x | + | 7 2 |
5 12 | x | + | 7 2 | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 | x |
5 12 | x | + | 7 2 | = | 1 2 | x |
5 12 | x | − | 1 2 | x | = | - | 7 2 |
| - | 1 12 | x | = | - | 7 2 |
7 2 | = | 1 12 | x |
1 12 | x | = | 7 2 |
| x | = | 7 2 | ÷ | 1 12 |
| = | 7 2 | × | 12 |
| = | 7 | × | 6 |
| x | = | 42 |
