| ( | 2 | x | ÷ | 3 | + | 46 | ÷ | 3 | ) | − | 7 2 | x | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | ÷ | 3 | + | 46 | ÷ | 3 | − | 7 2 | x |
| = | 2 3 | x | + | 46 3 | − | 7 2 | x |
| = | - | 17 6 | x | + | 46 3 |
| - | 17 6 | x | + | 46 3 | = | 1 |
| - | 17 6 | x | = | 1 | − | 46 3 |
| - | 17 6 | x | = | - | 43 3 |
43 3 | = | 17 6 | x |
17 6 | x | = | 43 3 |
| x | = | 43 3 | ÷ | 17 6 |
| = | 43 3 | × | 6 17 |
| = | 43 | × | 2 17 |
| x | = | 86 17 |
| x | = | 5.058824 |
