| 1 | − | 2 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | = | 7 | ÷ | 15 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | − | 2 5 | x |
| 1 | − | 2 5 | x | = | 7 | ÷ | 15 |
| Right side of the equation = | 7 15 |
| 1 | − | 2 5 | x | = | 7 15 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | 7 15 | − | 1 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | - | 8 15 |
8 15 | = | 2 5 | x |
2 5 | x | = | 8 15 |
| x | = | 8 15 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 8 15 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 4 3 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 4 3 |
| x | = | 1.333333 |
