| x | + | 6 | x | = | 15 | x | − | ( | 15 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 1 2 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 7 | x |
| 7 | x | = | 15 | x | − | ( | 15 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 1 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 15 | x | − | 15 | x | ÷ | 2 | − | 1 2 |
| = | 15 | x | − | 15 2 | x | − | 1 2 |
| = | 15 2 | x | − | 1 2 |
| 7 | x | = | 15 2 | x | − | 1 2 |
| 7 | x | − | 15 2 | x | = | - | 1 2 |
| - | 1 2 | x | = | - | 1 2 |
1 2 | = | 1 2 | x |
1 2 | x | = | 1 2 |
| x | = | 1 2 | ÷ | 1 2 |
| = | 1 2 | × | 2 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 1 |
