| ( | 1 | ÷ | 6 | ) | ÷ | ( | 5 | − | 3 | ) | × | 3 | = | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 5 | − | 3 | ) |
| ( | 1 | ÷ | 6 | ) | × | 3 | = | x | ( | 5 | − | 3 | ) |
| 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | 3 | = | x | ( | 5 | − | 3 | ) |
| 1 | ÷ | 6 | × | 3 | = | x | × | 5 | − | x | × | 3 |
1 2 | = | x | × | 5 | − | x | × | 3 |
1 2 | = | 2 | x |
| - | 2 | x | = | - | 1 2 |
1 2 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | 1 2 |
| x | = | 1 2 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 1 2 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 1 4 |
| x | = | 0.25 |
