| 2 | x | + | 1 | ÷ | 3 | = | 1 | − | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 | x | + | 1 3 |
| 2 | x | + | 1 3 | = | 1 | − | x | − | 1 | ÷ | 5 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 | − | x | − | 1 5 |
| = | 4 5 | − | x |
| 2 | x | + | 1 3 | = | 4 5 | − | x |
| 2 | x | + | x | = | 4 5 | − | 1 3 |
| 3 | x | = | 4 5 | − | 1 3 |
| 3 | x | = | 7 15 |
| x | = | 7 15 | ÷ | 3 |
| = | 7 15 | × | 1 3 |
| x | = | 7 45 |
| x | = | 0.155556 |
