| 2 | − | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 | = | ( | 10 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 2 | + | 3 | − | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | − | x | × | 1 3 | + | 1 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 2 | − | x | × | 1 3 | + | 1 3 |
| = | 7 3 | − | 1 3 | x |
7 3 | − | 1 3 | x | = | ( | 10 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 2 | + | 3 | − | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 10 | × | 1 2 | − | x | × | 1 2 | + | 3 | − | x |
| = | 5 | − | x | × | 1 2 | + | 3 | − | x |
| = | 8 | − | 3 2 | x |
7 3 | − | 1 3 | x | = | 8 | − | 3 2 | x |
| - | 1 3 | x | + | 3 2 | x | = | 8 | − | 7 3 |
7 6 | x | = | 8 | − | 7 3 |
7 6 | x | = | 17 3 |
| x | = | 17 3 | ÷ | 7 6 |
| = | 17 3 | × | 6 7 |
| = | 17 | × | 2 7 |
| x | = | 34 7 |
| x | = | 4.857143 |
