| 1 | − | ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 5 | = | ( | 3 | x | ) | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | − | 2 | x | × | 1 5 | − | 1 | × | 1 5 | − | x | × | 1 5 |
| = | 1 | − | 2 5 | x | − | 1 5 | − | x | × | 1 5 |
| = | 4 5 | − | 3 5 | x |
4 5 | − | 3 5 | x | = | ( | 3 | x | ) | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | x | × | 1 2 |
| = | 3 2 | x |
4 5 | − | 3 5 | x | = | 3 2 | x |
| - | 3 5 | x | − | 3 2 | x | = | - | 4 5 |
| - | 21 10 | x | = | - | 4 5 |
4 5 | = | 21 10 | x |
21 10 | x | = | 4 5 |
| x | = | 4 5 | ÷ | 21 10 |
| = | 4 5 | × | 10 21 |
| = | 4 | × | 2 21 |
| x | = | 8 21 |
| x | = | 0.380952 |
