| x | − | 1 | ÷ | 4 | − | 1 | = | 2 | x | + | 3 | ÷ | 6 | + | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | 1 4 | − | 1 |
| = | x | − | 5 4 |
| x | − | 5 4 | = | 2 | x | + | 3 | ÷ | 6 | + | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 1 2 | + | x | + | 1 3 |
| = | 3 | x | + | 5 6 |
| x | − | 5 4 | = | 3 | x | + | 5 6 |
| x | − | 3 | x | = | 5 6 | + | 5 4 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 5 6 | + | 5 4 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 25 12 |
| - | 25 12 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | - | 25 12 |
| x | = | - | 25 12 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | - | 25 12 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | - | 25 24 |
| x | = | - 1.041667 |
