| 2 | ÷ | 5 | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 5 | − | 1 3 | x |
2 5 | − | 1 3 | x | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 |
2 5 | − | 1 3 | x | = | 1 2 |
| - | 1 3 | x | = | 1 2 | − | 2 5 |
| - | 1 3 | x | = | 1 10 |
| - | 1 10 | = | 1 3 | x |
1 3 | x | = | - | 1 10 |
| x | = | - | 1 10 | ÷ | 1 3 |
| = | - | 1 10 | × | 3 |
| x | = | - | 3 10 |
| x | = | - 0.3 |
