| ( | 6 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 8 | = | 8 | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 6 | x | × | 1 8 | − | 1 | × | 1 8 |
| = | 3 4 | x | − | 1 8 |
3 4 | x | − | 1 8 | = | 8 | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 8 3 |
3 4 | x | − | 1 8 | = | 8 3 |
3 4 | x | = | 8 3 | + | 1 8 |
3 4 | x | = | 67 24 |
| x | = | 67 24 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 67 24 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 67 6 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 67 18 |
| x | = | 3.722222 |
