3 5 | x | + | 6 | ÷ | 1 | = | x | − | 12 | ÷ | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 5 | x | + | 6 |
3 5 | x | + | 6 | = | x | − | 12 | ÷ | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | − | 12 5 |
3 5 | x | + | 6 | = | x | − | 12 5 |
3 5 | x | − | x | = | - | 12 5 | − | 6 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | - | 12 5 | − | 6 |
| - | 2 5 | x | = | - | 42 5 |
42 5 | = | 2 5 | x |
2 5 | x | = | 42 5 |
| x | = | 42 5 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 42 5 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 21 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 21 |
