| x | − | ( | ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 1 4 | ) | = | 1 | − | ( | ( | - | 3 | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 1 4 |
| = | x | − | 2 | x | × | 4 | − | 1 | × | 4 |
| = | x | − | 8 | x | − | 4 |
| = | - | 7 | x | − | 4 |
| - | 7 | x | − | 4 | = | 1 | − | ( | ( | - | 3 | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 4 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | − | ( | - | 3 | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 4 |
| = | 1 | + | 3 | x | × | 1 4 | + | 2 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 1 | + | 3 4 | x | + | 1 2 |
| = | 3 2 | + | 3 4 | x |
| - | 7 | x | − | 4 | = | 3 2 | + | 3 4 | x |
| - | 7 | x | − | 3 4 | x | = | 3 2 | + | 4 |
| - | 31 4 | x | = | 3 2 | + | 4 |
| - | 31 4 | x | = | 11 2 |
| - | 11 2 | = | 31 4 | x |
31 4 | x | = | - | 11 2 |
| x | = | - | 11 2 | ÷ | 31 4 |
| = | - | 11 2 | × | 4 31 |
| = | - | 11 | × | 2 31 |
