| 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | x | + | 7 | ) | + | 1 | ÷ | 2 | = | 13 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 3 | ( | x | + | 7 | ) | + | 1 2 |
2 3 | ( | x | + | 7 | ) | + | 1 2 | = | 13 | ÷ | 2 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 3 | x | + | 2 3 | × | 7 | + | 1 2 |
| = | 2 3 | x | + | 14 3 | + | 1 2 |
| = | 2 3 | x | + | 31 6 |
2 3 | x | + | 31 6 | = | 13 | ÷ | 2 |
| Right side of the equation = | 13 2 |
2 3 | x | + | 31 6 | = | 13 2 |
2 3 | x | = | 13 2 | − | 31 6 |
2 3 | x | = | 4 3 |
| x | = | 4 3 | ÷ | 2 3 |
| = | 4 3 | × | 3 2 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 2 |
