| 2 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 | − | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 2 | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | − | 2 | x | × | 1 3 | + | 1 | × | 1 3 | − | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 1 2 |
| = | 2 | − | 2 3 | x | + | 1 3 | − | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 1 2 |
| = | 7 3 | − | 2 3 | x | − | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | × | 1 2 |
| = | 7 3 | − | 2 3 | x | − | 1 | × | 1 2 | − | x | × | 1 2 |
| = | 7 3 | − | 2 3 | x | − | 1 2 | − | x | × | 1 2 |
| = | 11 6 | − | 7 6 | x |
11 6 | − | 7 6 | x | = | 1 |
| - | 7 6 | x | = | 1 | − | 11 6 |
| - | 7 6 | x | = | - | 5 6 |
5 6 | = | 7 6 | x |
7 6 | x | = | 5 6 |
| x | = | 5 6 | ÷ | 7 6 |
| = | 5 6 | × | 6 7 |
| = | 5 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 5 7 |
| x | = | 0.714286 |
