| 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | ( | 4 | − | x | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 2 | ( | 4 | − | x | ) |
1 2 | ( | 4 | − | x | ) | = | 2 | ÷ | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 2 | × | 4 | − | 1 2 | x |
| = | 2 | − | 1 2 | x |
| 2 | − | 1 2 | x | = | 2 | ÷ | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 5 |
| 2 | − | 1 2 | x | = | 2 5 |
| - | 1 2 | x | = | 2 5 | − | 2 |
| - | 1 2 | x | = | - | 8 5 |
8 5 | = | 1 2 | x |
1 2 | x | = | 8 5 |
| x | = | 8 5 | ÷ | 1 2 |
| = | 8 5 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 16 5 |
| x | = | 3.2 |
