| 5 | x | = | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | x | + | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 3 | ( | x | + | 1 | ) |
| 5 | x | = | 4 3 | ( | x | + | 1 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 3 | x | + | 4 3 | × | 1 |
| = | 4 3 | x | + | 4 3 |
| 5 | x | = | 4 3 | x | + | 4 3 |
| 5 | x | − | 4 3 | x | = | 4 3 |
11 3 | x | = | 4 3 |
| x | = | 4 3 | ÷ | 11 3 |
| = | 4 3 | × | 3 11 |
| = | 4 | × | 1 11 |
| x | = | 4 11 |
| x | = | 0.363636 |
