| ( | x | − | 3 | ) | ÷ | 5 | = | ( | 3 | x | + | 4 | ) | ÷ | 15 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 5 | − | 3 | × | 1 5 |
| = | x | × | 1 5 | − | 3 5 |
1 5 | x | − | 3 5 | = | ( | 3 | x | + | 4 | ) | ÷ | 15 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | x | × | 1 15 | + | 4 | × | 1 15 |
| = | 1 5 | x | + | 4 15 |
1 5 | x | − | 3 5 | = | 1 5 | x | + | 4 15 |
1 5 | x | − | 1 5 | x | = | 4 15 | + | 3 5 |
| 0 | x | = | 4 15 | + | 3 5 |
| 0 | x | = | 13 15 |
