| ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 6 | = | ( | 4 | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 8 | − | 1 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | × | 1 6 | + | 1 | × | 1 6 |
| = | 1 3 | x | + | 1 6 |
1 3 | x | + | 1 6 | = | ( | 4 | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 8 | − | 1 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 | x | × | 1 8 | − | 2 | × | 1 8 | − | 1 2 |
| = | 1 2 | x | − | 1 4 | − | 1 2 |
| = | 1 2 | x | − | 3 4 |
1 3 | x | + | 1 6 | = | 1 2 | x | − | 3 4 |
1 3 | x | − | 1 2 | x | = | - | 3 4 | − | 1 6 |
| - | 1 6 | x | = | - | 3 4 | − | 1 6 |
| - | 1 6 | x | = | - | 11 12 |
11 12 | = | 1 6 | x |
1 6 | x | = | 11 12 |
| x | = | 11 12 | ÷ | 1 6 |
| = | 11 12 | × | 6 |
| = | 11 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 11 2 |
| x | = | 5.5 |
