65 2 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 65 | = | 2 5 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 2 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) |
1 2 | ( | 1 | − | x | ) | = | 2 5 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 2 | × | 1 | − | 1 2 | x |
| = | 1 2 | − | 1 2 | x |
1 2 | − | 1 2 | x | = | 2 5 | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 5 |
1 2 | − | 1 2 | x | = | 1 5 |
| - | 1 2 | x | = | 1 5 | − | 1 2 |
| - | 1 2 | x | = | - | 3 10 |
3 10 | = | 1 2 | x |
1 2 | x | = | 3 10 |
| x | = | 3 10 | ÷ | 1 2 |
| = | 3 10 | × | 2 |
| = | 3 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 3 5 |
| x | = | 0.6 |
