| 36 | ÷ | ( | x | + | 4 | ) | + | 2 5 | = | 36 | ÷ | x |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | x | + | 4 | ) | , | x |
| 36 | x | + | 2 5 | ( | x | + | 4 | ) | x | = | 36 | ( | x | + | 4 | ) |
| 36 | x | + | 2 5 | x | x | + | 2 5 | × | 4 | x | = | 36 | ( | x | + | 4 | ) |
| 36 | x | + | 2 5 | x | x | + | 2 5 | × | 4 | x | = | 36 | x | + | 36 | × | 4 |
| 36 | x | + | 2 5 | x | x | + | 8 5 | x | = | 36 | x | + | 144 |
188 5 | x | + | 2 5 | x | x | = | 36 | x | + | 144 |
