1 2 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 7 | + | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 2 | × | 1 | − | 1 2 | x |
| = | 1 2 | − | 1 2 | x |
1 2 | − | 1 2 | x | = | 7 | + | x |
| - | 1 2 | x | − | x | = | 7 | − | 1 2 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | 7 | − | 1 2 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | 13 2 |
| - | 13 2 | = | 3 2 | x |
3 2 | x | = | - | 13 2 |
| x | = | - | 13 2 | ÷ | 3 2 |
| = | - | 13 2 | × | 2 3 |
| = | - | 13 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | - | 13 3 |
| x | = | - 4.333333 |
