| 2 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 3 | − | 3 | = | 3 10 | x | + | 1 2 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | − | 1 3 | − | 3 |
| = | 2 | x | − | 10 3 |
| 2 | x | − | 10 3 | = | 3 10 | x | + | 1 2 | ÷ | 1 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 10 | x | + | 5 2 |
| 2 | x | − | 10 3 | = | 3 10 | x | + | 5 2 |
| 2 | x | − | 3 10 | x | = | 5 2 | + | 10 3 |
17 10 | x | = | 5 2 | + | 10 3 |
17 10 | x | = | 35 6 |
| x | = | 35 6 | ÷ | 17 10 |
| = | 35 6 | × | 10 17 |
| = | 35 3 | × | 5 17 |
| x | = | 175 51 |
| x | = | 3.431373 |
