| 5 | ÷ | 3 | − | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | = | 8 | x | − | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 3 | − | 1 2 | x |
5 3 | − | 1 2 | x | = | 8 | x | − | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 8 | x | − | 3 4 |
5 3 | − | 1 2 | x | = | 8 | x | − | 3 4 |
| - | 1 2 | x | − | 8 | x | = | - | 3 4 | − | 5 3 |
| - | 17 2 | x | = | - | 3 4 | − | 5 3 |
| - | 17 2 | x | = | - | 29 12 |
29 12 | = | 17 2 | x |
17 2 | x | = | 29 12 |
| x | = | 29 12 | ÷ | 17 2 |
| = | 29 12 | × | 2 17 |
| = | 29 6 | × | 1 17 |
| x | = | 29 102 |
