| ( | 3 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 2 | ) | = | 2 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 3 | x | + | 1 2 |
| 3 | x | + | 1 2 | = | 2 | − | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 6 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | − | 2 | x | × | 1 6 | + | 1 | × | 1 6 |
| = | 2 | − | 1 3 | x | + | 1 6 |
| = | 13 6 | − | 1 3 | x |
| 3 | x | + | 1 2 | = | 13 6 | − | 1 3 | x |
| 3 | x | + | 1 3 | x | = | 13 6 | − | 1 2 |
10 3 | x | = | 13 6 | − | 1 2 |
10 3 | x | = | 5 3 |
| x | = | 5 3 | ÷ | 10 3 |
| = | 5 3 | × | 3 10 |
| = | 1 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 1 2 |
| x | = | 0.5 |
