| 3 | ( | x | − | 3 | ) | = | 2 | ( | 5 | x | − | 7 | ) | + | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | − | 3 | × | 3 |
| = | 3 | x | − | 9 |
| 3 | x | − | 9 | = | 2 | ( | 5 | x | − | 7 | ) | + | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | × | 5 | x | − | 2 | × | 7 | + | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 10 | x | − | 14 | + | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 10 | x | − | 14 | + | 1 | − | x |
| = | 9 | x | − | 13 |
| 3 | x | − | 9 | = | 9 | x | − | 13 |
| 3 | x | − | 9 | x | = | - | 13 | + | 9 |
| - | 6 | x | = | - | 13 | + | 9 |
| - | 6 | x | = | - | 4 |
| 4 | = | 6 | x |
| 6 | x | = | 4 |
| x | = | 4 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 6 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 2 3 |
| x | = | 0.666667 |
