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