| - | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 1 | = | 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | x | − | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 2 3 | x | + | 1 |
| - | 2 3 | x | + | 1 | = | 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | x | − | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 6 | x | − | 5 |
| - | 2 3 | x | + | 1 | = | 1 6 | x | − | 5 |
| - | 2 3 | x | − | 1 6 | x | = | - | 5 | − | 1 |
| - | 5 6 | x | = | - | 5 | − | 1 |
| - | 5 6 | x | = | - | 6 |
| 6 | = | 5 6 | x |
5 6 | x | = | 6 |
| x | = | 6 | ÷ | 5 6 |
| = | 6 | × | 6 5 |
| x | = | 36 5 |
| x | = | 7.2 |
