| 5 | ÷ | 2 | = | x | + | 3 | ÷ | 4 | − | 2 | − | 3 | x | ÷ | 8 |
| Left side of the equation = | 5 2 |
5 2 | = | x | + | 3 | ÷ | 4 | − | 2 | − | 3 | x | ÷ | 8 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | + | 3 4 | − | 2 | − | 3 8 | x |
| = | 5 8 | x | − | 5 4 |
5 2 | = | 5 8 | x | − | 5 4 |
| - | 5 8 | x | = | - | 5 4 | − | 5 2 |
| - | 5 8 | x | = | - | 15 4 |
15 4 | = | 5 8 | x |
5 8 | x | = | 15 4 |
| x | = | 15 4 | ÷ | 5 8 |
| = | 15 4 | × | 8 5 |
| = | 3 | × | 2 |
| x | = | 6 |
