| ( | 1 | ÷ | 10 | + | 1 | ÷ | 12 | ) | × | 3 | + | 1 | ÷ | 12 | × | x | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | 1 | ÷ | 10 | + | 1 | ÷ | 12 | ) | × | 3 | + | 1 12 | x |
| ( | 1 | ÷ | 10 | + | 1 | ÷ | 12 | ) | × | 3 | + | 1 12 | x | = | 1 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | ÷ | 10 | × | 3 | + | 1 | ÷ | 12 | × | 3 | + | 1 12 | x |
| = | 3 10 | + | 1 4 | + | 1 12 | x |
| = | 11 20 | + | 1 12 | x |
11 20 | + | 1 12 | x | = | 1 |
1 12 | x | = | 1 | − | 11 20 |
1 12 | x | = | 9 20 |
| x | = | 9 20 | ÷ | 1 12 |
| = | 9 20 | × | 12 |
| = | 9 5 | × | 3 |
