1 20 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 12 | × | ( | 14 | − | x | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 20 | x | + | 1 12 | ( | 14 | − | x | ) |
1 20 | x | + | 1 12 | ( | 14 | − | x | ) | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 20 | x | + | 1 12 | × | 14 | − | 1 12 | x |
| = | 1 20 | x | + | 7 6 | − | 1 12 | x |
| = | - | 1 30 | x | + | 7 6 |
| - | 1 30 | x | + | 7 6 | = | 1 |
| - | 1 30 | x | = | 1 | − | 7 6 |
| - | 1 30 | x | = | - | 1 6 |
1 6 | = | 1 30 | x |
1 30 | x | = | 1 6 |
| x | = | 1 6 | ÷ | 1 30 |
| = | 1 6 | × | 30 |
| = | 1 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 5 |
