| ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | − | x | ) | + | 4 5 | = | 2 | x | + | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | ÷ | 3 | − | x | + | 4 5 |
| = | 1 3 | − | x | + | 4 5 |
| = | 17 15 | − | x |
17 15 | − | x | = | 2 | x | + | 5 |
| - | x | − | 2 | x | = | 5 | − | 17 15 |
| - | 3 | x | = | 5 | − | 17 15 |
| - | 3 | x | = | 58 15 |
| - | 58 15 | = | 3 | x |
| 3 | x | = | - | 58 15 |
| x | = | - | 58 15 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | - | 58 15 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | - | 58 45 |
| x | = | - 1.288889 |
