| 5 | ( | x | + | 3 2 | ) | ÷ | 5 | = | 35 2 | ÷ | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | ( | x | + | 3 2 | ) |
| 1 | ( | x | + | 3 2 | ) | = | 35 2 | ÷ | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 | x | + | 1 | × | 3 2 |
| = | 1 | x | + | 3 2 |
| 1 | x | + | 3 2 | = | 35 2 | ÷ | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 7 2 |
| 1 | x | + | 3 2 | = | 7 2 |
| 1 | x | = | 7 2 | − | 3 2 |
| x | = | 7 2 | − | 3 2 |
| x | = | 2 |
