| ( | 3 | x | + | 4 | ) | ÷ | 2 | − | 1 | = | ( | 7 | − | 2 | x | ) | ÷ | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | × | 1 2 | + | 4 | × | 1 2 | − | 1 |
| = | 3 2 | x | + | 2 | − | 1 |
| = | 3 2 | x | + | 1 |
3 2 | x | + | 1 | = | ( | 7 | − | 2 | x | ) | ÷ | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | 7 | × | 1 4 | − | 2 | x | × | 1 4 |
| = | 7 4 | − | 1 2 | x |
3 2 | x | + | 1 | = | 7 4 | − | 1 2 | x |
3 2 | x | + | 1 2 | x | = | 7 4 | − | 1 |
| 2 | x | = | 7 4 | − | 1 |
| 2 | x | = | 3 4 |
| x | = | 3 4 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 3 4 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 3 8 |
| x | = | 0.375 |
