| 5 | ÷ | x | + | 4 | ÷ | x | + | 3 | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| 5 | + | 4 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 | + | 3 | x | = | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x |
| 3 | x | − | 2 | ÷ | 3 | × | x | = | - | 5 | − | 4 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 |
| 3 | x | − | 2 3 | x | = | - | 5 | − | 4 | ÷ | 1 | × | 1 |
| 3 | x | − | 2 3 | x | = | - | 5 | − | 4 |
7 3 | x | = | - | 5 | − | 4 |
7 3 | x | = | - | 9 |
| x | = | - | 9 | ÷ | 7 3 |
| = | - | 9 | × | 3 7 |
| x | = | - | 27 7 |
| x | = | - 3.857143 |
