| 5 | ÷ | 3 | = | 7 | ÷ | 15 | × | x | − | 2 | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 3 |
5 3 | = | 7 | ÷ | 15 | × | x | − | 2 | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 7 15 | x | − | 2 3 |
5 3 | = | 7 15 | x | − | 2 3 |
| - | 7 15 | x | = | - | 2 3 | − | 5 3 |
| - | 7 15 | x | = | - | 7 3 |
7 3 | = | 7 15 | x |
7 15 | x | = | 7 3 |
| x | = | 7 3 | ÷ | 7 15 |
| = | 7 3 | × | 15 7 |
| = | 1 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 5 |
