| ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 4 | − | 1 | = | x | − | ( | 10 | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 12 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | × | 1 4 | + | 1 | × | 1 4 | − | 1 |
| = | 1 2 | x | + | 1 4 | − | 1 |
| = | 1 2 | x | − | 3 4 |
1 2 | x | − | 3 4 | = | x | − | ( | 10 | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 12 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | − | 10 | x | × | 1 12 | − | 1 | × | 1 12 |
| = | x | − | 5 6 | x | − | 1 12 |
| = | 1 6 | x | − | 1 12 |
1 2 | x | − | 3 4 | = | 1 6 | x | − | 1 12 |
1 2 | x | − | 1 6 | x | = | - | 1 12 | + | 3 4 |
1 3 | x | = | - | 1 12 | + | 3 4 |
1 3 | x | = | 2 3 |
| x | = | 2 3 | ÷ | 1 3 |
| = | 2 3 | × | 3 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 2 |
