| ( | x | + | 5 | ) | ÷ | 3 | − | ( | 3 | x | − | 2 | ) | ÷ | 2 | = | - | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 3 | + | 5 | × | 1 3 | − | ( | 3 | x | − | 2 | ) | × | 1 2 |
| = | x | × | 1 3 | + | 5 3 | − | ( | 3 | x | − | 2 | ) | × | 1 2 |
| = | 1 3 | x | + | 5 3 | − | 3 | x | × | 1 2 | + | 2 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 1 3 | x | + | 5 3 | − | 3 2 | x | + | 1 |
| = | - | 7 6 | x | + | 8 3 |
| - | 7 6 | x | + | 8 3 | = | - | 2 |
| - | 7 6 | x | = | - | 2 | − | 8 3 |
| - | 7 6 | x | = | - | 14 3 |
14 3 | = | 7 6 | x |
7 6 | x | = | 14 3 |
| x | = | 14 3 | ÷ | 7 6 |
| = | 14 3 | × | 6 7 |
| = | 2 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 4 |
