| 1 | − | ( | 3 | − | 5 | x | ) | ÷ | 3 | = | ( | 3 | x | − | 5 | ) | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | − | 3 | × | 1 3 | + | 5 | x | × | 1 3 |
| = | 1 | − | 1 | + | 5 3 | x |
| = | 0 | + | 5 3 | x |
| 0 | + | 5 3 | x | = | ( | 3 | x | − | 5 | ) | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | x | × | 1 2 | − | 5 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 3 2 | x | − | 5 2 |
5 3 | x | = | 3 2 | x | − | 5 2 |
5 3 | x | − | 3 2 | x | = | - | 5 2 |
1 6 | x | = | - | 5 2 |
| x | = | - | 5 2 | ÷ | 1 6 |
| = | - | 5 2 | × | 6 |
| = | - | 5 | × | 3 |
| x | = | - | 15 |
