| ( | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 1 2 | ) | − | ( | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 3 5 | ) | = | 1 2 | x | + | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 1 2 | − | ( | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 3 5 | ) |
| = | 2 | x | × | 2 | − | 1 | × | 2 | − | ( | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 3 5 | ) |
| = | 4 | x | − | 2 | − | ( | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 3 5 | ) |
| = | 4 | x | − | 2 | − | ( | x | + | 3 | ) | ÷ | 3 5 |
| = | 4 | x | − | 2 | − | x | × | 5 3 | − | 3 | × | 5 3 |
| = | 4 | x | − | 2 | − | x | × | 5 3 | − | 5 |
| = | 7 3 | x | − | 7 |
7 3 | x | − | 7 | = | 1 2 | x | + | 2 |
7 3 | x | − | 1 2 | x | = | 2 | + | 7 |
11 6 | x | = | 2 | + | 7 |
11 6 | x | = | 9 |
| x | = | 9 | ÷ | 11 6 |
| = | 9 | × | 6 11 |
| x | = | 54 11 |
| x | = | 4.909091 |
