| ( | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | ) | ÷ | 2 | ÷ | 3 | = | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | ( | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | ) | × | 1 6 |
| ( | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | ) | × | 1 6 | = | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 6 | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 | × | 1 6 |
| = | x | × | 1 6 | − | 1 30 |
1 6 | x | − | 1 30 | = | 3 |
1 6 | x | = | 3 | + | 1 30 |
1 6 | x | = | 91 30 |
| x | = | 91 30 | ÷ | 1 6 |
| = | 91 30 | × | 6 |
| = | 91 5 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 91 5 |
| x | = | 18.2 |
