| ( | 5 | − | 3 | x | ) | ÷ | 2 | = | ( | 3 | + | 5 | x | ) | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 | × | 1 2 | − | 3 | x | × | 1 2 |
| = | 5 2 | − | 3 2 | x |
5 2 | − | 3 2 | x | = | ( | 3 | + | 5 | x | ) | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 1 3 | + | 5 | x | × | 1 3 |
| = | 1 | + | 5 3 | x |
5 2 | − | 3 2 | x | = | 1 | + | 5 3 | x |
| - | 3 2 | x | − | 5 3 | x | = | 1 | − | 5 2 |
| - | 19 6 | x | = | 1 | − | 5 2 |
| - | 19 6 | x | = | - | 3 2 |
3 2 | = | 19 6 | x |
19 6 | x | = | 3 2 |
| x | = | 3 2 | ÷ | 19 6 |
| = | 3 2 | × | 6 19 |
| = | 3 | × | 3 19 |
