| 1 | − | x | − | 13 | ÷ | 3 | = | 9 | − | 3 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | − | x | − | 13 3 |
| = | - | 10 3 | − | x |
| - | 10 3 | − | x | = | 9 | − | 3 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 9 | − | 3 2 | x | + | x |
| = | 9 | − | 1 2 | x |
| - | 10 3 | − | x | = | 9 | − | 1 2 | x |
| - | x | + | 1 2 | x | = | 9 | + | 10 3 |
| - | 1 2 | x | = | 9 | + | 10 3 |
| - | 1 2 | x | = | 37 3 |
| - | 37 3 | = | 1 2 | x |
1 2 | x | = | - | 37 3 |
| x | = | - | 37 3 | ÷ | 1 2 |
| = | - | 37 3 | × | 2 |
| x | = | - | 74 3 |
| x | = | - 24.666667 |
