| ( | 1 10 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 10 | − | ( | x | + | 1 5 | ) | ÷ | 1 2 | = | 12 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 10 | x | × | 10 3 | − | 1 | × | 10 3 | − | ( | x | + | 1 5 | ) | × | 2 |
| = | 1 3 | x | − | 10 3 | − | ( | x | + | 1 5 | ) | × | 2 |
| = | 1 3 | x | − | 10 3 | − | x | × | 2 | − | 1 5 | × | 2 |
| = | 1 3 | x | − | 10 3 | − | x | × | 2 | − | 2 5 |
| = | - | 5 3 | x | − | 56 15 |
| - | 5 3 | x | − | 56 15 | = | 12 |
| - | 5 3 | x | = | 12 | + | 56 15 |
| - | 5 3 | x | = | 236 15 |
| - | 236 15 | = | 5 3 | x |
5 3 | x | = | - | 236 15 |
| x | = | - | 236 15 | ÷ | 5 3 |
| = | - | 236 15 | × | 3 5 |
| = | - | 236 5 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | - | 236 25 |
| x | = | - 9.44 |
