| ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 7 10 | = | x | ÷ | 3 10 | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 7 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | × | 10 7 | − | 1 | × | 10 7 |
| = | 20 7 | x | − | 10 7 |
20 7 | x | − | 10 7 | = | x | ÷ | 3 10 | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 7 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 10 3 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 7 |
| = | 10 3 | x | − | 1 7 |
20 7 | x | − | 10 7 | = | 10 3 | x | − | 1 7 |
20 7 | x | − | 10 3 | x | = | - | 1 7 | + | 10 7 |
| - | 10 21 | x | = | - | 1 7 | + | 10 7 |
| - | 10 21 | x | = | 9 7 |
| - | 9 7 | = | 10 21 | x |
10 21 | x | = | - | 9 7 |
| x | = | - | 9 7 | ÷ | 10 21 |
| = | - | 9 7 | × | 21 10 |
| = | - | 9 | × | 3 10 |
| x | = | - | 27 10 |
| x | = | - 2.7 |
