| x | − | 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | x | = | x | − | 6 | + | 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | x |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | 1 6 | x |
| = | 5 6 | x |
5 6 | x | = | x | − | 6 | + | 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | x |
| Right side of the equation = | x | − | 6 | + | 1 6 | x |
| = | 7 6 | x | − | 6 |
5 6 | x | = | 7 6 | x | − | 6 |
5 6 | x | − | 7 6 | x | = | - | 6 |
| - | 1 3 | x | = | - | 6 |
| 6 | = | 1 3 | x |
1 3 | x | = | 6 |
| x | = | 6 | ÷ | 1 3 |
| = | 6 | × | 3 |
| x | = | 18 |
