| 1 | ÷ | 6 | + | 1 4 | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 23 | ÷ | 144 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 6 | + | 1 4 | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) |
1 6 | + | 1 4 | ( | x | + | 1 2 | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 23 | ÷ | 144 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 6 | + | 1 4 | x | + | 1 4 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 1 6 | + | 1 4 | x | + | 1 8 |
| = | 7 24 | + | 1 4 | x |
7 24 | + | 1 4 | x | = | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 23 | ÷ | 144 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 3 | x | + | 23 144 |
7 24 | + | 1 4 | x | = | 1 3 | x | + | 23 144 |
1 4 | x | − | 1 3 | x | = | 23 144 | − | 7 24 |
| - | 1 12 | x | = | 23 144 | − | 7 24 |
| - | 1 12 | x | = | - | 19 144 |
19 144 | = | 1 12 | x |
1 12 | x | = | 19 144 |
| x | = | 19 144 | ÷ | 1 12 |
| = | 19 144 | × | 12 |
| = | 19 12 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 19 12 |
