| 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | + | x | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 3 | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | + | x | ) |
2 3 | ( | 1 | ÷ | 3 | + | x | ) | = | 1 | ÷ | 3 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2 3 | × | 1 | ÷ | 3 | + | 2 3 | x |
| = | 2 9 | + | 2 3 | x |
2 9 | + | 2 3 | x | = | 1 | ÷ | 3 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1 3 |
2 9 | + | 2 3 | x | = | 1 3 |
2 3 | x | = | 1 3 | − | 2 9 |
2 3 | x | = | 1 9 |
| x | = | 1 9 | ÷ | 2 3 |
| = | 1 9 | × | 3 2 |
| = | 1 3 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 1 6 |
| x | = | 0.166667 |
