| ( | 1 | ÷ | 5 | ) | x | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ( | x | − | 3 | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | ÷ | 5 | × | x | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ( | x | − | 3 | ) |
| = | 1 5 | x | − | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ( | x | − | 3 | ) |
| = | 1 5 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | x | − | 3 | ) |
| = | 1 5 | x | − | 1 3 | ( | x | − | 3 | ) |
| = | 1 5 | x | − | 1 3 | x | + | 1 3 | × | 3 |
| = | 1 5 | x | − | 1 3 | x | + | 1 |
| = | - | 2 15 | x | + | 1 |
| - | 2 15 | x | + | 1 | = | 1 |
| - | 2 15 | x | = | 1 | − | 1 |
| - | 2 15 | x | = | 0 |
| - | 0 | = | 2 15 | x |
2 15 | x | = | - | 0 |
| x | = | - | 0 | ÷ | 2 15 |
| = | - | 0 | × | 15 2 |
| x | = | 0 |
