| 1 | − | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 5 | ÷ | 9 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | − | 1 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | + | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 1 | − | 1 | × | 1 | + | 1 | x | + | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 1 | − | 1 | + | 1 | x | + | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 0 | + | 1 | x | + | x | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
| = | 0 | + | 1 | x | + | x | × | 1 | − | x | x |
| = | 0 | + | 2 | x | − | x | x |
| 0 | + | 2 | x | − | x | x | = | 5 | ÷ | 9 |
| Right side of the equation = | 5 9 |
| 0 | + | 2 | x | − | x | x | = | 5 9 |
| x1= | 1 3 |
