| ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 5 | + | ( | 3 | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 | = | x | + | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 5 | − | 1 | × | 1 5 | + | ( | 3 | x | + | 1 | ) | × | 1 3 |
| = | x | × | 1 5 | − | 1 5 | + | ( | 3 | x | + | 1 | ) | × | 1 3 |
| = | 1 5 | x | − | 1 5 | + | 3 | x | × | 1 3 | + | 1 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 1 5 | x | − | 1 5 | + | 1 | x | + | 1 3 |
| = | 6 5 | x | + | 2 15 |
6 5 | x | + | 2 15 | = | x | + | 2 |
6 5 | x | − | x | = | 2 | − | 2 15 |
1 5 | x | = | 2 | − | 2 15 |
1 5 | x | = | 28 15 |
| x | = | 28 15 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| = | 28 15 | × | 5 |
| = | 28 3 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 28 3 |
| x | = | 9.333333 |
