| ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 10 | − | 2 | x | = | ( | 1 10 | x | + | 1 5 | ) | ÷ | 1 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 10 3 | − | 1 | × | 10 3 | − | 2 | x |
| = | x | × | 10 3 | − | 10 3 | − | 2 | x |
| = | 4 3 | x | − | 10 3 |
4 3 | x | − | 10 3 | = | ( | 1 10 | x | + | 1 5 | ) | ÷ | 1 20 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 10 | x | × | 20 | + | 1 5 | × | 20 |
| = | 2 | x | + | 4 |
4 3 | x | − | 10 3 | = | 2 | x | + | 4 |
4 3 | x | − | 2 | x | = | 4 | + | 10 3 |
| - | 2 3 | x | = | 4 | + | 10 3 |
| - | 2 3 | x | = | 22 3 |
| - | 22 3 | = | 2 3 | x |
