| 5 | y | + | 4 | ÷ | 3 | + | y | − | 1 | ÷ | 4 | = | 2 | − | ( | 5 | y | − | 5 | ÷ | 12 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | y | + | 4 3 | + | y | − | 1 4 |
| = | 6 | y | + | 13 12 |
| 6 | y | + | 13 12 | = | 2 | − | ( | 5 | y | − | 5 | ÷ | 12 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | − | 5 | y | + | 5 | ÷ | 12 |
| = | 2 | − | 5 | y | + | 5 12 |
| = | 29 12 | − | 5 | y |
| 6 | y | + | 13 12 | = | 29 12 | − | 5 | y |
| 6 | y | + | 5 | y | = | 29 12 | − | 13 12 |
| 11 | y | = | 29 12 | − | 13 12 |
| 11 | y | = | 4 3 |
| y | = | 4 3 | ÷ | 11 |
| = | 4 3 | × | 1 11 |
| y | = | 4 33 |
| y | = | 0.121212 |
