| 7 | x | ÷ | 3 | + | 7 | = | - | 5 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 7 3 | x | + | 7 |
7 3 | x | + | 7 | = | - | 5 | x | ÷ | 2 | + | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | - | 5 2 | x | + | 5 |
7 3 | x | + | 7 | = | - | 5 2 | x | + | 5 |
7 3 | x | + | 5 2 | x | = | 5 | − | 7 |
29 6 | x | = | 5 | − | 7 |
29 6 | x | = | - | 2 |
| x | = | - | 2 | ÷ | 29 6 |
| = | - | 2 | × | 6 29 |
| x | = | - | 12 29 |
| x | = | - 0.413793 |
