| ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 | = | 1 | − | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | × | 1 3 | + | 1 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 2 3 | x | + | 1 3 |
2 3 | x | + | 1 3 | = | 1 | − | ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | − | x | × | 1 5 | + | 1 | × | 1 5 |
| = | 1 | − | x | × | 1 5 | + | 1 5 |
| = | 6 5 | − | 1 5 | x |
2 3 | x | + | 1 3 | = | 6 5 | − | 1 5 | x |
2 3 | x | + | 1 5 | x | = | 6 5 | − | 1 3 |
13 15 | x | = | 6 5 | − | 1 3 |
13 15 | x | = | 13 15 |
| x | = | 13 15 | ÷ | 13 15 |
| = | 13 15 | × | 15 13 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 |
