| x | − | 1 | ÷ | 2 | − | 2 | = | 3 | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | − | 1 2 | − | 2 |
| = | x | − | 5 2 |
| x | − | 5 2 | = | 3 | x | + | 2 | ÷ | 6 |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 | x | + | 1 3 |
| x | − | 5 2 | = | 3 | x | + | 1 3 |
| x | − | 3 | x | = | 1 3 | + | 5 2 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 1 3 | + | 5 2 |
| - | 2 | x | = | 17 6 |
| - | 17 6 | = | 2 | x |
| 2 | x | = | - | 17 6 |
| x | = | - | 17 6 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | - | 17 6 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | - | 17 12 |
| x | = | - 1.416667 |
