| x | ÷ | 4 | − | x | − | 2 | ÷ | 2 | = | 1 | + | 2 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 4 | − | x | − | 1 |
| = | - | 3 4 | x | − | 1 |
| - | 3 4 | x | − | 1 | = | 1 | + | 2 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | + | 2 | x | − | 1 3 |
| = | 2 3 | + | 2 | x |
| - | 3 4 | x | − | 1 | = | 2 3 | + | 2 | x |
| - | 3 4 | x | − | 2 | x | = | 2 3 | + | 1 |
| - | 11 4 | x | = | 2 3 | + | 1 |
| - | 11 4 | x | = | 5 3 |
| - | 5 3 | = | 11 4 | x |
11 4 | x | = | - | 5 3 |
| x | = | - | 5 3 | ÷ | 11 4 |
| = | - | 5 3 | × | 4 11 |
| x | = | - | 20 33 |
| x | = | - 0.606061 |
