| 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 20 | − | x | ) | = | 50 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 2 | x | + | 1 3 | ( | 20 | − | x | ) |
1 2 | x | + | 1 3 | ( | 20 | − | x | ) | = | 50 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 2 | x | + | 1 3 | × | 20 | − | 1 3 | x |
| = | 1 2 | x | + | 20 3 | − | 1 3 | x |
| = | 1 6 | x | + | 20 3 |
1 6 | x | + | 20 3 | = | 50 |
1 6 | x | = | 50 | − | 20 3 |
1 6 | x | = | 130 3 |
| x | = | 130 3 | ÷ | 1 6 |
| = | 130 3 | × | 6 |
| = | 130 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 260 |
