| ( | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 3 | + | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | ÷ | 2 | = | 1 | − | x |
| Left side of the equation = | x | × | 1 3 | − | 1 | × | 1 3 | + | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | × | 1 2 |
| = | x | × | 1 3 | − | 1 3 | + | ( | 2 | x | − | 1 | ) | × | 1 2 |
| = | 1 3 | x | − | 1 3 | + | 2 | x | × | 1 2 | − | 1 | × | 1 2 |
| = | 1 3 | x | − | 1 3 | + | 1 | x | − | 1 2 |
| = | 4 3 | x | − | 5 6 |
4 3 | x | − | 5 6 | = | 1 | − | x |
4 3 | x | + | x | = | 1 | + | 5 6 |
7 3 | x | = | 1 | + | 5 6 |
7 3 | x | = | 11 6 |
| x | = | 11 6 | ÷ | 7 3 |
| = | 11 6 | × | 3 7 |
| = | 11 2 | × | 1 7 |
| x | = | 11 14 |
| x | = | 0.785714 |
