| 1 | ÷ | 9 | = | x | ÷ | 3 | − | 1 | ÷ | 6 |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 9 |
1 9 | = | x | ÷ | 3 | − | 1 | ÷ | 6 |
| Right side of the equation = | x | × | 1 3 | − | 1 6 |
1 9 | = | 1 3 | x | − | 1 6 |
| - | 1 3 | x | = | - | 1 6 | − | 1 9 |
| - | 1 3 | x | = | - | 5 18 |
5 18 | = | 1 3 | x |
1 3 | x | = | 5 18 |
| x | = | 5 18 | ÷ | 1 3 |
| = | 5 18 | × | 3 |
| = | 5 6 | × | 1 |
| x | = | 5 6 |
| x | = | 0.833333 |
