| ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 4 | ) | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 3 | ÷ | 5 | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 4 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 3 | ÷ | 5 | ) |
| = | 2 3 | x | − | 4 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 3 | ÷ | 5 | ) |
| = | 2 3 | x | − | 4 | − | 2 | x | + | 3 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 2 3 | x | − | 4 | − | 2 | x | + | 3 5 |
| = | - | 4 3 | x | − | 17 5 |
| - | 4 3 | x | − | 17 5 | = | 1 |
| - | 4 3 | x | = | 1 | + | 17 5 |
| - | 4 3 | x | = | 22 5 |
| - | 22 5 | = | 4 3 | x |
4 3 | x | = | - | 22 5 |
| x | = | - | 22 5 | ÷ | 4 3 |
| = | - | 22 5 | × | 3 4 |
| = | - | 11 5 | × | 3 2 |
| x | = | - | 33 10 |
| x | = | - 3.3 |
