| 5 | ÷ | 7 | − | 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 7 | − | 2 5 | x |
5 7 | − | 2 5 | x | = | 3 | ÷ | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 5 |
5 7 | − | 2 5 | x | = | 3 5 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | 3 5 | − | 5 7 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | - | 4 35 |
4 35 | = | 2 5 | x |
2 5 | x | = | 4 35 |
| x | = | 4 35 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 4 35 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 2 7 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 2 7 |
| x | = | 0.285714 |
