| 0 | = | ( | - | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | ) | x | + | ( | 4 | ÷ | 3 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | - | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x | + | ( | 4 | ÷ | 3 | ) |
| = | - | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | ( | 4 | ÷ | 3 | ) |
| = | - | 1 3 | x | + | ( | 4 | ÷ | 3 | ) |
| = | - | 1 3 | x | + | 4 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | - | 1 3 | x | + | 4 3 |
| 0 | = | - | 1 3 | x | + | 4 3 |
1 3 | x | = | 4 3 | − | 0 |
1 3 | x | = | 4 3 |
| x | = | 4 3 | ÷ | 1 3 |
| = | 4 3 | × | 3 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 4 |
