| ( | ( | x | − | 4 | ) | ÷ | 4 | ) | − | 1 | = | 2 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | x | − | 4 | ) | ÷ | 4 | − | 1 |
| = | x | × | 1 4 | − | 4 | × | 1 4 | − | 1 |
| = | x | × | 1 4 | − | 1 | − | 1 |
| = | 1 4 | x | − | 2 |
1 4 | x | − | 2 | = | 2 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 6 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 1 6 |
1 4 | x | − | 2 | = | 2 | x | + | 1 6 |
1 4 | x | − | 2 | x | = | 1 6 | + | 2 |
| - | 7 4 | x | = | 1 6 | + | 2 |
| - | 7 4 | x | = | 13 6 |
| - | 13 6 | = | 7 4 | x |
7 4 | x | = | - | 13 6 |
| x | = | - | 13 6 | ÷ | 7 4 |
| = | - | 13 6 | × | 4 7 |
| = | - | 13 3 | × | 2 7 |
| x | = | - | 26 21 |
