1 2 | × | 10 | ( | 30 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | ) | = | 90 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | ( | 30 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | ) |
| 5 | ( | 30 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | ) | = | 90 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | × | 30 | ÷ | 2 | × | x |
| = | 75 | x |
| 75 | x | = | 90 | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 45 |
| 75 | x | = | 45 |
| x | = | 45 | ÷ | 75 |
| = | 45 | × | 1 75 |
| = | 3 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 3 5 |
| x | = | 0.6 |
