| ( | x | + | 4 | ÷ | 5 | ) | × | 2 | ÷ | 3 | = | 12 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | x | + | 4 | ÷ | 5 | ) | × | 2 3 |
| ( | x | + | 4 | ÷ | 5 | ) | × | 2 3 | = | 12 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 2 3 | + | 4 | ÷ | 5 | × | 2 3 |
| = | x | × | 2 3 | + | 8 15 |
2 3 | x | + | 8 15 | = | 12 5 |
2 3 | x | = | 12 5 | − | 8 15 |
2 3 | x | = | 28 15 |
| x | = | 28 15 | ÷ | 2 3 |
| = | 28 15 | × | 3 2 |
| = | 14 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 14 5 |
| x | = | 2.8 |
