| 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | ( | 1 | − | a | ) | ( | - | a | ) | = | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 2 | ( | 1 | − | a | ) | ( | - | a | ) |
1 2 | ( | 1 | − | a | ) | ( | - | a | ) | = | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 2 | × | 1 | ( | - | a | ) | − | 1 2 | a | ( | - | a | ) |
| = | 1 2 | ( | - | a | ) | − | 1 2 | a | ( | - | a | ) |
| = | - | 1 2 | a | − | 1 2 | a | ( | - | a | ) |
| = | - | 1 2 | a | + | 1 2 | a | a |
| - | 1 2 | a | + | 1 2 | a | a | = | 6 |
