| ( | 2 | x | − | 7 | ) | ÷ | 3 | = | ( | 3 | − | 2 | x | ) | ÷ | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | × | 1 3 | − | 7 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 2 3 | x | − | 7 3 |
2 3 | x | − | 7 3 | = | ( | 3 | − | 2 | x | ) | ÷ | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 1 5 | − | 2 | x | × | 1 5 |
| = | 3 5 | − | 2 5 | x |
2 3 | x | − | 7 3 | = | 3 5 | − | 2 5 | x |
2 3 | x | + | 2 5 | x | = | 3 5 | + | 7 3 |
16 15 | x | = | 3 5 | + | 7 3 |
16 15 | x | = | 44 15 |
| x | = | 44 15 | ÷ | 16 15 |
| = | 44 15 | × | 15 16 |
| = | 11 | × | 1 4 |
| x | = | 11 4 |
| x | = | 2.75 |
