| ( | 1 | ÷ | 2 | ) | x | − | 5 2 | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x | = | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | x | − | 5 2 | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x |
| = | 1 2 | x | − | 5 2 | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | ) | x |
| = | 1 2 | x | − | 5 2 | + | 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | x |
| = | 1 2 | x | − | 5 2 | + | 1 3 | x |
| = | 5 6 | x | − | 5 2 |
5 6 | x | − | 5 2 | = | 3 |
5 6 | x | = | 3 | + | 5 2 |
5 6 | x | = | 11 2 |
| x | = | 11 2 | ÷ | 5 6 |
| = | 11 2 | × | 6 5 |
| = | 11 | × | 3 5 |
| x | = | 33 5 |
| x | = | 6.6 |
