| ( | 3 10 | x | + | 1 2 | ) | ÷ | 1 5 | = | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 10 | x | × | 5 | + | 1 2 | × | 5 |
| = | 3 2 | x | + | 5 2 |
3 2 | x | + | 5 2 | = | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 2 | x | × | 1 3 | − | 1 | × | 1 3 |
| = | 2 3 | x | − | 1 3 |
3 2 | x | + | 5 2 | = | 2 3 | x | − | 1 3 |
3 2 | x | − | 2 3 | x | = | - | 1 3 | − | 5 2 |
5 6 | x | = | - | 1 3 | − | 5 2 |
5 6 | x | = | - | 17 6 |
| x | = | - | 17 6 | ÷ | 5 6 |
| = | - | 17 6 | × | 6 5 |
| = | - | 17 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | - | 17 5 |
| x | = | - 3.4 |
