| 1 | − | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | = | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | − | 1 2 | x |
| 1 | − | 1 2 | x | = | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | + | 2 3 |
| 1 | − | 1 2 | x | = | x | + | 2 3 |
| - | 1 2 | x | − | x | = | 2 3 | − | 1 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | 2 3 | − | 1 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | - | 1 3 |
1 3 | = | 3 2 | x |
3 2 | x | = | 1 3 |
| x | = | 1 3 | ÷ | 3 2 |
| = | 1 3 | × | 2 3 |
| x | = | 2 9 |
| x | = | 0.222222 |
