| x | − | ( | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 3 10 | ) | = | ( | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | ÷ | 3 5 | ) | − | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 3 10 |
| = | x | − | 1 | × | 10 3 | + | x | × | 10 3 |
| = | x | − | 10 3 | + | x | × | 10 3 |
| = | 13 3 | x | − | 10 3 |
13 3 | x | − | 10 3 | = | ( | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | ÷ | 3 5 | ) | − | 1 |
| Right side of the equation = | ( | x | + | 2 | ) | ÷ | 3 5 | − | 1 |
| = | x | × | 5 3 | + | 2 | × | 5 3 | − | 1 |
| = | x | × | 5 3 | + | 10 3 | − | 1 |
| = | 5 3 | x | + | 7 3 |
13 3 | x | − | 10 3 | = | 5 3 | x | + | 7 3 |
13 3 | x | − | 5 3 | x | = | 7 3 | + | 10 3 |
8 3 | x | = | 7 3 | + | 10 3 |
8 3 | x | = | 17 3 |
| x | = | 17 3 | ÷ | 8 3 |
| = | 17 3 | × | 3 8 |
| = | 17 | × | 1 8 |
| x | = | 17 8 |
| x | = | 2.125 |
