| - | 1 | − | ( | 3 | x | − | 4 | ) | ÷ | 4 | = | - | x | − | ( | - | 2 | − | 3 | x | ) | ÷ | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 1 | − | 3 | x | × | 1 4 | + | 4 | × | 1 4 |
| = | - | 1 | − | 3 4 | x | + | 1 |
| = | - | 0 | − | 3 4 | x |
| - | 0 | − | 3 4 | x | = | - | x | − | ( | - | 2 | − | 3 | x | ) | ÷ | 6 |
| Right side of the equation = | - | x | + | 2 | × | 1 6 | + | 3 | x | × | 1 6 |
| = | - | x | + | 1 3 | + | 1 2 | x |
| = | - | 1 2 | x | + | 1 3 |
| - | 3 4 | x | = | - | 1 2 | x | + | 1 3 |
| - | 3 4 | x | + | 1 2 | x | = | 1 3 |
| - | 1 4 | x | = | 1 3 |
| - | 1 3 | = | 1 4 | x |
1 4 | x | = | - | 1 3 |
| x | = | - | 1 3 | ÷ | 1 4 |
| = | - | 1 3 | × | 4 |
| x | = | - | 4 3 |
