| 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 2 | x | + | 4 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | ( | 5 | + | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 3 | ( | 2 | x | + | 4 | ) |
2 3 | ( | 2 | x | + | 4 | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | ( | 5 | + | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 3 | × | 2 | x | + | 2 3 | × | 4 |
| = | 4 3 | x | + | 8 3 |
4 3 | x | + | 8 3 | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | ( | 5 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 4 | ( | 5 | + | x | ) |
4 3 | x | + | 8 3 | = | 3 4 | ( | 5 | + | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 4 | × | 5 | + | 3 4 | x |
| = | 15 4 | + | 3 4 | x |
4 3 | x | + | 8 3 | = | 15 4 | + | 3 4 | x |
4 3 | x | − | 3 4 | x | = | 15 4 | − | 8 3 |
7 12 | x | = | 15 4 | − | 8 3 |
7 12 | x | = | 13 12 |
| x | = | 13 12 | ÷ | 7 12 |
| = | 13 12 | × | 12 7 |
| = | 13 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 13 7 |
