| 1 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | x | − | 6 | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 3 | ( | x | − | 6 | ) |
1 3 | ( | x | − | 6 | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 3 | x | − | 1 3 | × | 6 |
| = | 1 3 | x | − | 2 |
1 3 | x | − | 2 | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | × | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 | − | 1 5 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
1 3 | x | − | 2 | = | 1 2 | − | 1 5 | ( | x | + | 2 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 | − | 1 5 | x | − | 1 5 | × | 2 |
| = | 1 2 | − | 1 5 | x | − | 2 5 |
| = | 1 10 | − | 1 5 | x |
1 3 | x | − | 2 | = | 1 10 | − | 1 5 | x |
1 3 | x | + | 1 5 | x | = | 1 10 | + | 2 |
