13 4 | − | x | + | 3 2 | = | 5 4 | − | 1 4 | x | + | 1 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 19 4 | − | x |
19 4 | − | x | = | 5 4 | − | 1 4 | x | + | 1 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 7 4 | − | 1 4 | x |
19 4 | − | x | = | 7 4 | − | 1 4 | x |
| - | x | + | 1 4 | x | = | 7 4 | − | 19 4 |
| - | 3 4 | x | = | 7 4 | − | 19 4 |
| - | 3 4 | x | = | - | 3 |
| 3 | = | 3 4 | x |
3 4 | x | = | 3 |
| x | = | 3 | ÷ | 3 4 |
| = | 3 | × | 4 3 |
| = | 1 | × | 4 |
| x | = | 4 |
