4 5 | − | 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 12 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 5 | − | 2 5 | x |
4 5 | − | 2 5 | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 12 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 4 |
4 5 | − | 2 5 | x | = | 1 4 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | 1 4 | − | 4 5 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | - | 11 20 |
11 20 | = | 2 5 | x |
2 5 | x | = | 11 20 |
| x | = | 11 20 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 11 20 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 11 4 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 11 8 |
| x | = | 1.375 |
