| 3 | ÷ | 2 | × | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 2 | ) | − | 5 | ÷ | 2 | = | 2 | x | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 2 | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 2 | ) | − | 5 2 |
3 2 | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 2 | ) | − | 5 2 | = | 2 | x | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 2 | × | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | − | 1 | ) | + | 3 2 | × | 2 | − | 5 2 |

1 4 | x | − | 1 2 | = | 2 | x | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 3 | x |
1 4 | x | − | 1 2 | = | 2 3 | x |
1 4 | x | − | 2 3 | x | = | 1 2 |
| - | 5 12 | x | = | 1 2 |
| - | 1 2 | = | 5 12 | x |
