| 5 | x | − | 2 | = | ( | 3 2 | x | ) | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | 1 2 | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | + | 1 2 | x | ) |
| 5 | x | ( | 1 | + | 1 2 | x | ) | − | 2 | ( | 1 | + | 1 2 | x | ) | = | ( | 3 2 | x | ) |
| 5 | x | × | 1 | + | 5 | x | × | 1 2 | x | − | 2 | ( | 1 | + | 1 2 | x | ) | = | ( | 3 2 | x | ) |
| 5 | x | × | 1 | + | 5 | x | × | 1 2 | x | − | 2 | ( | 1 | + | 1 2 | x | ) | = | 3 2 | x |
| 5 | x | + | 5 2 | x | x | − | 2 | ( | 1 | + | 1 2 | x | ) | = | 3 2 | x |
| 5 | x | + | 5 2 | x | x | − | 2 | × | 1 | − | 2 | × | 1 2 | x | = | 3 2 | x |
| 5 | x | + | 5 2 | x | x | − | 2 | − | 1 | x | = | 3 2 | x |
| 4 | x | + | 5 2 | x | x | − | 2 | = | 3 2 | x |
