5 8 | = | ( | 1 | × | 1 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | ) |
5 8 | = | 1 | × | 1 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
5 8 | = | 1 | ÷ | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
5 8 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | = | 1 |
5 8 | × | 1 | + | 5 8 | x | = | 1 |
5 8 | + | 5 8 | x | = | 1 |
5 8 | x | = | 1 | − | 5 8 |
5 8 | x | = | 3 8 |
| x | = | 3 8 | ÷ | 5 8 |
| = | 3 8 | × | 8 5 |
| = | 3 | × | 1 5 |
| x | = | 3 5 |
| x | = | 0.6 |
