| 3 | ÷ | 7 | − | 1 | ÷ | 4 | × | x | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 7 | − | 1 4 | x |
3 7 | − | 1 4 | x | = | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 2 |
3 7 | − | 1 4 | x | = | 1 2 |
| - | 1 4 | x | = | 1 2 | − | 3 7 |
| - | 1 4 | x | = | 1 14 |
| - | 1 14 | = | 1 4 | x |
1 4 | x | = | - | 1 14 |
| x | = | - | 1 14 | ÷ | 1 4 |
| = | - | 1 14 | × | 4 |
| = | - | 1 7 | × | 2 |
| x | = | - | 2 7 |
| x | = | - 0.285714 |
