| 1 | ÷ | 16 | × | 6 | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 16 | + | 1 | ÷ | 24 | ) | x | = | 1 | + | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 8 | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 16 | + | 1 | ÷ | 24 | ) | x |
3 8 | + | ( | 1 | ÷ | 16 | + | 1 | ÷ | 24 | ) | x | = | 1 | + | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 8 | + | 1 | ÷ | 16 | × | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 24 | × | x |
| = | 3 8 | + | 1 16 | x | + | 1 24 | x |
| = | 3 8 | + | 5 48 | x |
3 8 | + | 5 48 | x | = | 1 | + | 6 |
| Right side of the equation = | 7 |
3 8 | + | 5 48 | x | = | 7 |
5 48 | x | = | 7 | − | 3 8 |
5 48 | x | = | 53 8 |
| x | = | 53 8 | ÷ | 5 48 |
| = | 53 8 | × | 48 5 |
| = | 53 | × | 6 5 |
| x | = | 318 5 |
| x | = | 63.6 |
