| x | − | 2 | ÷ | 4 | = | 1 | + | ( | - | 2 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 6 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | 1 2 |
| x | − | 1 2 | = | 1 | + | ( | - | 2 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 6 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | − | 2 | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | 1 | − | 2 | x | − | 1 6 |
| = | 5 6 | − | 2 | x |
| x | − | 1 2 | = | 5 6 | − | 2 | x |
| x | + | 2 | x | = | 5 6 | + | 1 2 |
| 3 | x | = | 5 6 | + | 1 2 |
| 3 | x | = | 4 3 |
| x | = | 4 3 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | 4 3 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 4 9 |
| x | = | 0.444444 |
