| ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 | − | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 4 | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | × | 1 3 | − | 1 | × | 1 3 | − | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | × | 1 4 |
| = | 2 3 | x | − | 1 3 | − | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | × | 1 4 |
| = | 2 3 | x | − | 1 3 | − | x | × | 1 4 | + | 1 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 2 3 | x | − | 1 3 | − | x | × | 1 4 | + | 1 4 |
| = | 5 12 | x | − | 1 12 |
5 12 | x | − | 1 12 | = | 1 |
5 12 | x | = | 1 | + | 1 12 |
5 12 | x | = | 13 12 |
| x | = | 13 12 | ÷ | 5 12 |
| = | 13 12 | × | 12 5 |
| = | 13 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 13 5 |
| x | = | 2.6 |
