| 1 | − | 1 2 | x | ÷ | 3 10 | + | 2 | x | ÷ | 3 | = | 3 10 | x | ÷ | 1 50 | + | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | − | 5 3 | x | + | 2 3 | x |
| = | 1 | − | 1 | x |
| 1 | − | 1 | x | = | 3 10 | x | ÷ | 1 50 | + | 1 |
| Right side of the equation = | 15 | x | + | 1 |
| 1 | − | 1 | x | = | 15 | x | + | 1 |
| - | 1 | x | − | 15 | x | = | 1 | − | 1 |
| - | 16 | x | = | 1 | − | 1 |
| - | 16 | x | = | 0 |
| - | 0 | = | 16 | x |
| 16 | x | = | - | 0 |
| x | = | - | 0 | ÷ | 16 |
| = | - | 0 | × | 1 16 |
| x | = | 0 |
