| ( | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 2 | ) | − | 1 | = | ( | 2 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 2 | − | 1 |
| = | x | × | 1 2 | + | 3 | × | 1 2 | − | 1 |
| = | x | × | 1 2 | + | 3 2 | − | 1 |
| = | 1 2 | x | + | 1 2 |
1 2 | x | + | 1 2 | = | ( | 2 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | × | 1 3 | − | x | × | 1 3 |
| = | 2 3 | − | x | × | 1 3 |
1 2 | x | + | 1 2 | = | 2 3 | − | 1 3 | x |
1 2 | x | + | 1 3 | x | = | 2 3 | − | 1 2 |
5 6 | x | = | 2 3 | − | 1 2 |
5 6 | x | = | 1 6 |
| x | = | 1 6 | ÷ | 5 6 |
| = | 1 6 | × | 6 5 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 1 5 |
| x | = | 0.2 |
