| 3 | ÷ | 2 | × | ( | 30 | − | x | ) | = | 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 2 | ( | 30 | − | x | ) |
3 2 | ( | 30 | − | x | ) | = | 20 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 2 | × | 30 | − | 3 2 | x |
| = | 45 | − | 3 2 | x |
| 45 | − | 3 2 | x | = | 20 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | 20 | − | 45 |
| - | 3 2 | x | = | - | 25 |
| 25 | = | 3 2 | x |
3 2 | x | = | 25 |
| x | = | 25 | ÷ | 3 2 |
| = | 25 | × | 2 3 |
| x | = | 50 3 |
| x | = | 16.666667 |
