| 4 | x | ( | 2 | − | 1 | ) | = | 3 | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 4 | x | × | 2 | − | 4 | x | × | 1 |
| = | 8 | x | − | 4 | x |
| = | 4 | x |
| 4 | x | = | 3 | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | × | 2 | x | − | 3 | × | 1 |
| = | 6 | x | − | 3 |
| 4 | x | = | 6 | x | − | 3 |
| 4 | x | − | 6 | x | = | - | 3 |
| - | 2 | x | = | - | 3 |
| 3 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | 3 |
| x | = | 3 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 3 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 3 2 |
| x | = | 1.5 |
