| 5 | − | 2 | ÷ | 7 | × | x | = | 15 | ÷ | 9 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | − | 2 7 | x |
| 5 | − | 2 7 | x | = | 15 | ÷ | 9 |
| Right side of the equation = | 5 3 |
| 5 | − | 2 7 | x | = | 5 3 |
| - | 2 7 | x | = | 5 3 | − | 5 |
| - | 2 7 | x | = | - | 10 3 |
10 3 | = | 2 7 | x |
2 7 | x | = | 10 3 |
| x | = | 10 3 | ÷ | 2 7 |
| = | 10 3 | × | 7 2 |
| = | 5 3 | × | 7 |
| x | = | 35 3 |
| x | = | 11.666667 |
