| 4 | x | ÷ | 7 | − | 1 4 | = | 3 | x | ÷ | 28 | + | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 7 | x | − | 1 4 |
4 7 | x | − | 1 4 | = | 3 | x | ÷ | 28 | + | 1 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 28 | x | + | 1 |
4 7 | x | − | 1 4 | = | 3 28 | x | + | 1 |
4 7 | x | − | 3 28 | x | = | 1 | + | 1 4 |
13 28 | x | = | 1 | + | 1 4 |
13 28 | x | = | 5 4 |
| x | = | 5 4 | ÷ | 13 28 |
| = | 5 4 | × | 28 13 |
| = | 5 | × | 7 13 |
| x | = | 35 13 |
| x | = | 2.692308 |
