| 3 | x | ÷ | 30 | − | 3 | x | = | 20 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 10 | x | − | 3 | x |
| = | - | 29 10 | x |
| - | 29 10 | x | = | 20 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 5 | x |
| - | 29 10 | x | = | 5 | x |
| - | 29 10 | x | − | 5 | x | = | 0 |
| - | 79 10 | x | = | 0 |
| - | 0 | = | 79 10 | x |
79 10 | x | = | - | 0 |
| x | = | - | 0 | ÷ | 79 10 |
| = | - | 0 | × | 10 79 |
| x | = | 0 |
