| 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | x | − | 3 | ÷ | 5 | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 3 | ( | x | − | 3 | ÷ | 5 | ) |
2 3 | ( | x | − | 3 | ÷ | 5 | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 3 | x | − | 2 3 | × | 3 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 2 3 | x | − | 2 5 |
2 3 | x | − | 2 5 | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 |
2 3 | x | − | 2 5 | = | 1 2 |
2 3 | x | = | 1 2 | + | 2 5 |
2 3 | x | = | 9 10 |
| x | = | 9 10 | ÷ | 2 3 |
| = | 9 10 | × | 3 2 |
| x | = | 27 20 |
| x | = | 1.35 |
