| 1 | ÷ | 3 | − | x | = | 25 | ÷ | 3 | + | 5 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 3 | − | x |
1 3 | − | x | = | 25 | ÷ | 3 | + | 5 | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 25 3 | + | 5 | x |
1 3 | − | x | = | 25 3 | + | 5 | x |
| - | x | − | 5 | x | = | 25 3 | − | 1 3 |
| - | 6 | x | = | 25 3 | − | 1 3 |
| - | 6 | x | = | 8 |
| - | 8 | = | 6 | x |
| 6 | x | = | - | 8 |
| x | = | - | 8 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | - | 8 | × | 1 6 |
| = | - | 4 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | - | 4 3 |
| x | = | - 1.333333 |
