| 6 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | = | 10 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | − | 1 3 |
| 2 | x | − | 1 3 | = | 10 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 5 2 | x |
| 2 | x | − | 1 3 | = | 5 2 | x |
| 2 | x | − | 5 2 | x | = | 1 3 |
| - | 1 2 | x | = | 1 3 |
| - | 1 3 | = | 1 2 | x |
1 2 | x | = | - | 1 3 |
| x | = | - | 1 3 | ÷ | 1 2 |
| = | - | 1 3 | × | 2 |
| x | = | - | 2 3 |
| x | = | - 0.666667 |
