| x | − | 1 | ÷ | 4 | − | 1 | = | 2 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | 1 4 | − | 1 |
| = | x | − | 5 4 |
| x | − | 5 4 | = | 2 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 6 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | x | − | 1 6 |
| x | − | 5 4 | = | 2 | x | − | 1 6 |
| x | − | 2 | x | = | - | 1 6 | + | 5 4 |
| - | x | = | - | 1 6 | + | 5 4 |
| - | x | = | - | 1 6 | + | 5 4 |
| - | x | = | 13 12 |
| - | 13 12 | = | x |
| x | = | - | 13 12 |
