| ( | 3 | ÷ | 4 | ) | x | − | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x | = | 5 | ÷ | 24 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | − | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x |
| = | 3 4 | x | − | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x |
| = | 3 4 | x | − | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x |
| = | 3 4 | x | − | 2 3 | x |
| = | 1 12 | x |
1 12 | x | = | 5 | ÷ | 24 |
| Right side of the equation = | 5 24 |
1 12 | x | = | 5 24 |
| x | = | 5 24 | ÷ | 1 12 |
| = | 5 24 | × | 12 |
| = | 5 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 5 2 |
| x | = | 2.5 |
