| 2 | × | 5 | ÷ | 3 | + | 6 | ( | 5 | ÷ | 3 | + | x | ) | = | 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 10 3 | + | 6 | ( | 5 | ÷ | 3 | + | x | ) |
10 3 | + | 6 | ( | 5 | ÷ | 3 | + | x | ) | = | 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 10 3 | + | 6 | × | 5 | ÷ | 3 | + | 6 | x |
| = | 10 3 | + | 10 | + | 6 | x |
| = | 40 3 | + | 6 | x |
40 3 | + | 6 | x | = | 20 |
| 6 | x | = | 20 | − | 40 3 |
| 6 | x | = | 20 3 |
| x | = | 20 3 | ÷ | 6 |
| = | 20 3 | × | 1 6 |
| = | 10 3 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 10 9 |
| x | = | 1.111111 |
