| - | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 8 | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | + | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 4 3 | x | + | 1 8 |
| - | 4 3 | x | + | 1 8 | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | + | 3 | ÷ | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 4 | x | + | 3 4 |
| - | 4 3 | x | + | 1 8 | = | 3 4 | x | + | 3 4 |
| - | 4 3 | x | − | 3 4 | x | = | 3 4 | − | 1 8 |
| - | 25 12 | x | = | 3 4 | − | 1 8 |
| - | 25 12 | x | = | 5 8 |
| - | 5 8 | = | 25 12 | x |
25 12 | x | = | - | 5 8 |
| x | = | - | 5 8 | ÷ | 25 12 |
