| 5 | ÷ | 3 | − | 7 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | = | 22 | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 3 | − | 7 5 | x |
5 3 | − | 7 5 | x | = | 22 | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 22 3 |
5 3 | − | 7 5 | x | = | 22 3 |
| - | 7 5 | x | = | 22 3 | − | 5 3 |
| - | 7 5 | x | = | 17 3 |
| - | 17 3 | = | 7 5 | x |
7 5 | x | = | - | 17 3 |
| x | = | - | 17 3 | ÷ | 7 5 |
| = | - | 17 3 | × | 5 7 |
| x | = | - | 85 21 |
| x | = | - 4.047619 |
