| ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 | = | ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 6 | ) | + | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | × | 1 3 | − | 1 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 2 3 | x | − | 1 3 |
2 3 | x | − | 1 3 | = | ( | 2 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 6 | ) | + | 1 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 6 | + | 1 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 1 6 | + | 1 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 7 6 |
2 3 | x | − | 1 3 | = | 2 | x | + | 7 6 |
2 3 | x | − | 2 | x | = | 7 6 | + | 1 3 |
| - | 4 3 | x | = | 7 6 | + | 1 3 |
| - | 4 3 | x | = | 3 2 |
| - | 3 2 | = | 4 3 | x |
4 3 | x | = | - | 3 2 |
| x | = | - | 3 2 | ÷ | 4 3 |
| = | - | 3 2 | × | 3 4 |
| x | = | - | 9 8 |
