| 3 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 4 | + | 2 | x | − | 5 | ÷ | 3 | = | 11 | ÷ | 24 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | + | 1 4 | + | 2 | x | − | 5 3 |
| = | 5 | x | − | 17 12 |
| 5 | x | − | 17 12 | = | 11 | ÷ | 24 |
| Right side of the equation = | 11 24 |
| 5 | x | − | 17 12 | = | 11 24 |
| 5 | x | = | 11 24 | + | 17 12 |
| 5 | x | = | 15 8 |
| x | = | 15 8 | ÷ | 5 |
| = | 15 8 | × | 1 5 |
| = | 3 8 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 3 8 |
| x | = | 0.375 |
