| 4 | ( | 4 | x | − | 1 | ) | = | 3 | ( | 2 | − | x | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 | × | 4 | x | − | 4 | × | 1 |
| = | 16 | x | − | 4 |
| 16 | x | − | 4 | = | 3 | ( | 2 | − | x | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 2 | − | 3 | x |
| = | 6 | − | 3 | x |
| 16 | x | − | 4 | = | 6 | − | 3 | x |
| 16 | x | + | 3 | x | = | 6 | + | 4 |
| 19 | x | = | 6 | + | 4 |
| 19 | x | = | 10 |
| x | = | 10 | ÷ | 19 |
| = | 10 | × | 1 19 |
| x | = | 10 19 |
| x | = | 0.526316 |
