| 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 3 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | 24 | − | x | ) | = | 24 | − | 43 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 3 | x | + | 3 5 | ( | 24 | − | x | ) |
2 3 | x | + | 3 5 | ( | 24 | − | x | ) | = | 24 | − | 43 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 3 | x | + | 3 5 | × | 24 | − | 3 5 | x |
| = | 2 3 | x | + | 72 5 | − | 3 5 | x |
| = | 1 15 | x | + | 72 5 |
1 15 | x | + | 72 5 | = | 24 | − | 43 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 77 5 |
1 15 | x | + | 72 5 | = | 77 5 |
1 15 | x | = | 77 5 | − | 72 5 |
1 15 | x | = | 1 |
| x | = | 1 | ÷ | 1 15 |
| = | 1 | × | 15 |
| x | = | 15 |
