| 3 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 2 | ( | 60 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 3 | = | 60 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 2 | x | + | 2 3 | ( | 60 | − | x | ) |
3 2 | x | + | 2 3 | ( | 60 | − | x | ) | = | 60 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 2 | x | + | 2 3 | × | 60 | − | 2 3 | x |
| = | 3 2 | x | + | 40 | − | 2 3 | x |
| = | 5 6 | x | + | 40 |
5 6 | x | + | 40 | = | 60 |
5 6 | x | = | 60 | − | 40 |
5 6 | x | = | 20 |
| x | = | 20 | ÷ | 5 6 |
| = | 20 | × | 6 5 |
| = | 4 | × | 6 |
| x | = | 24 |
