| ( | 1 5 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 3 10 | − | 1 | = | ( | 1 10 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 1 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 5 | × | 10 3 | − | x | × | 10 3 | − | 1 |
| = | 2 3 | − | x | × | 10 3 | − | 1 |
| = | - | 1 3 | − | 10 3 | x |
| - | 1 3 | − | 10 3 | x | = | ( | 1 10 | + | x | ) | ÷ | 1 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 10 | × | 5 | + | x | × | 5 |
| = | 1 2 | + | x | × | 5 |
| - | 1 3 | − | 10 3 | x | = | 1 2 | + | 5 | x |
| - | 10 3 | x | − | 5 | x | = | 1 2 | + | 1 3 |
| - | 25 3 | x | = | 1 2 | + | 1 3 |
| - | 25 3 | x | = | 5 6 |
| - | 5 6 | = | 25 3 | x |
25 3 | x | = | - | 5 6 |
| x | = | - | 5 6 | ÷ | 25 3 |
| = | - | 5 6 | × | 3 25 |
| = | - | 1 2 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | - | 1 10 |
| x | = | - 0.1 |
