| 2 | − | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | X | + | 1 | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | + | X |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | − | 2 3 | X | + | 1 |
| = | 3 | − | 2 3 | X |
| 3 | − | 2 3 | X | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | + | X |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 | + | X |
| 3 | − | 2 3 | X | = | 1 2 | + | X |
| - | 2 3 | X | − | X | = | 1 2 | − | 3 |
| - | 5 3 | X | = | 1 2 | − | 3 |
| - | 5 3 | X | = | - | 5 2 |
5 2 | = | 5 3 | X |
5 3 | X | = | 5 2 |
| X | = | 5 2 | ÷ | 5 3 |
| = | 5 2 | × | 3 5 |
| = | 1 2 | × | 3 |
| X | = | 3 2 |
| X | = | 1.5 |
