| 1 | − | 2 | x | ÷ | 3 | = | 3 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 7 | − | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | − | 2 3 | x |
| 1 | − | 2 3 | x | = | 3 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 7 | − | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | x | + | 1 7 | − | 3 |
| = | 3 | x | − | 20 7 |
| 1 | − | 2 3 | x | = | 3 | x | − | 20 7 |
| - | 2 3 | x | − | 3 | x | = | - | 20 7 | − | 1 |
| - | 11 3 | x | = | - | 20 7 | − | 1 |
| - | 11 3 | x | = | - | 27 7 |
27 7 | = | 11 3 | x |
11 3 | x | = | 27 7 |
| x | = | 27 7 | ÷ | 11 3 |
| = | 27 7 | × | 3 11 |
| x | = | 81 77 |
| x | = | 1.051948 |
