| ( | x | − | 3 | ) | ÷ | 2 | = | ( | x | + | 4 | ) | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 2 | − | 3 | × | 1 2 |
| = | x | × | 1 2 | − | 3 2 |
1 2 | x | − | 3 2 | = | ( | x | + | 4 | ) | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 1 3 | + | 4 | × | 1 3 |
| = | x | × | 1 3 | + | 4 3 |
1 2 | x | − | 3 2 | = | 1 3 | x | + | 4 3 |
1 2 | x | − | 1 3 | x | = | 4 3 | + | 3 2 |
1 6 | x | = | 4 3 | + | 3 2 |
1 6 | x | = | 17 6 |
| x | = | 17 6 | ÷ | 1 6 |
| = | 17 6 | × | 6 |
| = | 17 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 17 |
