| ( | x | + | 1 | ) | ÷ | 6 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 5 | ) | ÷ | 4 | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 6 | + | 1 | × | 1 6 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 5 | ) | × | 1 4 |
| = | x | × | 1 6 | + | 1 6 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 5 | ) | × | 1 4 |
| = | 1 6 | x | + | 1 6 | − | 2 | x | × | 1 4 | + | 5 | × | 1 4 |
| = | 1 6 | x | + | 1 6 | − | 1 2 | x | + | 5 4 |
| = | - | 1 3 | x | + | 17 12 |
| - | 1 3 | x | + | 17 12 | = | 1 |
| - | 1 3 | x | = | 1 | − | 17 12 |
| - | 1 3 | x | = | - | 5 12 |
5 12 | = | 1 3 | x |
1 3 | x | = | 5 12 |
| x | = | 5 12 | ÷ | 1 3 |
| = | 5 12 | × | 3 |
| = | 5 4 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 5 4 |
| x | = | 1.25 |
