| - | 3 | − | 3 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | = | - | 4 | ( | x | + | 1 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | - | 3 | − | 3 2 | x |
| - | 3 | − | 3 2 | x | = | - | 4 | ( | x | + | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | - | 4 | x | − | 4 | × | 1 |
| = | - | 4 | x | − | 4 |
| - | 3 | − | 3 2 | x | = | - | 4 | x | − | 4 |
| - | 3 2 | x | + | 4 | x | = | - | 4 | + | 3 |
5 2 | x | = | - | 4 | + | 3 |
5 2 | x | = | - | 1 |
| x | = | - | 1 | ÷ | 5 2 |
| = | - | 1 | × | 2 5 |
| x | = | - | 2 5 |
| x | = | - 0.4 |
