| ( | 3 | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 3 | = | 2 | ( | ( | 4 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 4 | ) | − | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | × | 1 3 | − | 2 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 1 | x | − | 2 3 |
| 1 | x | − | 2 3 | = | 2 | ( | ( | 4 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 4 | ) | − | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | ( | 4 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 4 | − | 3 |
| = | 1 2 | ( | 4 | x | − | 1 | ) | − | 3 |
| = | 1 2 | × | 4 | x | − | 1 2 | × | 1 | − | 3 |
| = | 2 | x | − | 1 2 | − | 3 |
| = | 2 | x | − | 7 2 |
| 1 | x | − | 2 3 | = | 2 | x | − | 7 2 |
| 1 | x | − | 2 | x | = | - | 7 2 | + | 2 3 |
| - | x | = | - | 7 2 | + | 2 3 |
| - | x | = | - | 7 2 | + | 2 3 |
| - | x | = | - | 17 6 |
17 6 | = | x |
