| ( | 3 | x | ) | + | x | ÷ | 3 | + | 3 | = | ( | 1 | ÷ | 2 | ) | x | x | − | 5 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | + | 1 3 | x | + | 3 |
| = | 10 3 | x | + | 3 |
10 3 | x | + | 3 | = | ( | 1 | ÷ | 2 | ) | x | x | − | 5 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | ( | 1 | ÷ | 2 | ) | x | x | − | 5 2 | x | + | 3 |
10 3 | x | + | 3 | = | ( | 1 | ÷ | 2 | ) | x | x | − | 5 2 | x | + | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | x | − | 5 2 | x | + | 3 |
| = | 1 2 | x | x | − | 5 2 | x | + | 3 |
