| - | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | + | 9 | ÷ | 4 | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 3 4 | x | + | 9 4 |
| - | 3 4 | x | + | 9 4 | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 3 | x | + | 4 |
| - | 3 4 | x | + | 9 4 | = | 4 3 | x | + | 4 |
| - | 3 4 | x | − | 4 3 | x | = | 4 | − | 9 4 |
| - | 25 12 | x | = | 4 | − | 9 4 |
| - | 25 12 | x | = | 7 4 |
| - | 7 4 | = | 25 12 | x |
25 12 | x | = | - | 7 4 |
| x | = | - | 7 4 | ÷ | 25 12 |
| = | - | 7 4 | × | 12 25 |
| = | - | 7 | × | 3 25 |
| x | = | - | 21 25 |
