| 2 | ( | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 2 | ) | ) | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | × | 4 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 2 | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 2 | ) |
| = | 8 3 | x | − | 2 | ( | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 2 | ) |
| = | 8 3 | x | − | 2 | × | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | + | 2 | × | 1 | ÷ | 2 |
| = | 8 3 | x | − | 4 3 | x | + | 1 |
| = | 4 3 | x | + | 1 |
4 3 | x | + | 1 | = | 3 | ÷ | 4 | × | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 3 4 | x |
4 3 | x | + | 1 | = | 3 4 | x |
4 3 | x | − | 3 4 | x | = | - | 1 |
7 12 | x | = | - | 1 |
| x | = | - | 1 | ÷ | 7 12 |
| = | - | 1 | × | 12 7 |
| x | = | - | 12 7 |
| x | = | - 1.714286 |
